Took a Gamble.....

I hope my research pays off! I think I just got a pre-republic Peterson super cheap!

Here we go!

According to pipephil its prerepublic.

Well it will be up for trade. Fair warning to those interested

From the P and shape of the ferrule it certainly looks like it is (thought there were hallmarks from the thumbnail, which would have made it easy, but after zooming in it's just K&P). A good buy I must say, I might've bought it for that price as well (would've asked about the place of manufacture though, to be able to make a better assessment of when it's from). I was about to win a really delightful straight pre-republic army mount Peterson for a nice price once, but some silly billy made a last-second bid (literally). Not the first time, either. Cheers to all you auction snipers.

$40 is the cleaner-upper price for any system pipe, that particular pipe was made around the 30's, you got mabey a 70 year old one there. I also got one from the 1930's for the same price, good deal man. I consider them much more valuable than the ones made now, the briar is just higher quality it seems.

Awesome!

I was looking at that one too but on lake all day with out phone ...good buy.

@Chris I threw a bid in on it about an hour before it ended. I got lucky I guess!

 

[irishsmoker]

@herbinedave I believe I will keep it. And when the time is right I will pass it on to my son.
