as much as I may want to complain about the state of affairs in So. California the truth is there ain't nowhere else I want to be!That setting and pipe look so pleasant as I look outside into the frozen tundra. Enjoy my friends living in a habitable climate!
Should I restore it or leave as is?Got a Best British Briar BBB extra large silver mount
A.F
L.B AS Maker's mark. Got given with few other pipes originally from my great great grandfather I believe. Having trouble dating as hallmarks worn quite well . Is large measuring 21.5 cm tip of mouthpiece to far edge of the bowl. Welcome everyone I'm new here as of 10 minutes ago looks to be a amazing source of pipe info. Keep Smiling
Judging from the pic it wouldn’t take much to clean it up. Personally, I like a bit of “patina” on my briar. As long as it smokes well & the bowl is reamed and internals are all disinfected for new smoking I’d leave as is…keeps part of your people on it. ️Should I restore it or leave as is?
Thank you!What a glorious piece of briar!
Beautiful pipe!Exclusive in an S Bang
