Any good pipe repair person can replace a stem at moderate cost. This is your chance to upgrade the appearance of the pipe, so consider what might do that. I was given a Thompson Cigar house pipe freehand, stamped West Germany. It had a plain black Vulcanite P-lip stem that oxidized very quickly, so I had Norwood pipe repair replace it with an acrylic tortoise shell bent fishtail stem. It made the pipe look about 30 years younger and eliminated the oxidation problem, and was less than thirty bucks if I recall.

Depends on the quality and complexity involved. For standard stems the above recommendations are fine. For replacing top quality hand crafted, unusually shaped stems, or vintage stems, it's George Dibos or Anthony Cook.

It’s a cheaper pipe. I’ll try to post pics and details tonight.

This is my newest pipe and I’m liking it. The band was a bit tarnished even though it was new. A jewelers cloth fixed it up nicely.
