GBD has of course a "Prehistoric" finish (sandblast). I'm pretty familiar with the GBD pipepedia page, but I don't see any reference there to a pre-historic or historic?
I am not a GBD guy, but I am also in at $15. These pieces of pipe history need to be preserved and shared. I would love to see if we could arrange pools for some of the other catalogs.
That's 3 of us.
:P
Al,
what do you think about starting a new thread on this subject,
sort of like a sign-up thing for a collectors pool?
It'd really be great if we could get a small respectable number of folks interested!

I've never seen a GBD stamped "Historic", can you post some pictures that show the stamping? I've not heard "pre-historic" used either

@ssjones,now I'm even more confused than I was before..you had said you've never heard about the pre-historics in your earlier post? I'm not sure what I have but it's a very nice pipe and smokes great.I've uploaded photos to my album on my profile but not going to fart around with a photo sharing account just to upload one picture..thanks again for the reply though!
Happy puffing!
@acme - I suspect "historic and "pre-historic" are used similarly as "Cadogan-era" and "Pre-Cadogan". I see that term used occasionally on Ebay ads (but no where else, till you mentioned it here).
@Walt - Here is your GBD, an interesting grade/finish.

This interesting piece just showed up on Ebay, alas without the stem.

Well, what do you know! I admired this 9240 "Militaire" last year and ended up buying it from Milehighme on Ebay last week. Here's the restored pipe, some very good work. I'm accustomed to cleaning/restoring "restored" pipes as they almost never meet my standards. The seller is 303_pipe_restoration, I'm impressed.Heres my other GBD. I just received this one and I have just started restoring it. It is a "Militaire" 9740

Thank you for the kind words they truly do mean a lot to me. I was hesitant about selling this one but knowing the pipe is in good hands makes it easier to part with. Thanks for also mentioning our eBay name, coming from you, we take that as a HUGE compliment!
Nice grab Al. The "Militaire" line pipes are few an far between. I have that same pipe but have only seen them come up for auction a very few times in the last five or six years. I think you find it a very good smoker.
