So you all know my obsession with Kaywoodie Hi-bowl pipes. Especially the H4 relief grain. Imagine how my gut felt when I saw this http://www.ebay.com/itm/262985596275
What happened here?

Yes but beyond that... :)
Looks like they scribbled all over it with an engraving pen?

A little creative rustification..

PApipeguy had an old Dunhill that was in his family, a mouse had chewed on the strummel a bit. Georged made that repair (detailed here somewhere). I saw it a few months ago, magnificent work. Perhaps this one had a simlar fate?

It almost looks like the pipe was broken and glued back together with the rustication added to hide the joint.

For reference - the pipe should look like this

Maybe it is a different stem so the shank had to be narrowed?

The "should look like" pipe is nicely blasted and balanced. The odd pipe- was it originally a blast that the owner started to try to make smooth? Or a smooth he tried to rusticate? Whatever, it's sure a mess. Only the "artisan" knows, I guess!

It's ebay. Pipes are supposed to have weird repairs and damage. They're flea market seconds.
