Dear Brian, I see that you are fond of Greek made briar pipes! We have a few but talented carvers here indeed, I think. All the best to you - greetings from Athens.
That same friend puts this Realistic DX-440 into my hands with the words, "I am not sure if it works, but take it anyways!" New batteries- it works, & goes well with a Peterson System 313 rusticated & Scotty's Salmon River.
