And while I'm bothering the other members, hopefully at the same place that cleans them, who might do a replacement meerschaum bowl? And a churchwarden-style long stem for an Army mount? As you can probably guess, my pipe needs a little help!

The Turkish Government has banned the export of meerschaum.
Your only course is to buy an estate calabash and adapt the bowl to your pipe.
Or contact a meerschaum carver to commission a new bowl.
You will have to send them your pipe as dimensions of gourd calabashes vary significantly.

There are quite a few sources of new stems.

Unless that pipe has a lot of sentimental value for you, I think it would be cheaper and a lot less bother for you to buy another.
