Tile edited. Please lower case tiny words except I, you, we.

I just bought this. Hopefully the seller will send me photos of the hallmark before he ships because I’m excited and can’t wait. Lol.
What type of stem should I ask to be made for this one?

anyone have photos of one from this era handy? Should there be a “P” on the stem?

Good for you to put this old briar back in action. You may be able to locate a photo or catalog drawing of the pipe with its original stem. Of course, you've already decided on a P-lip or fishtail. If it is P-lip, make sure it is done in the Peterson pattern. It will be a handsome pipe!

I think they do. Peterson will do the work as well. (Are we still calling it Peterson??) but I don’t know if they all fit.
If it's like they used to do, you send in the pipe and they fit the stem to it.
