Hello,
Recently picked up a estate because the shape was pleasing and it has character, and I’m only out $40. I’m curious what is going on with this pipe, the shank is clear of any branding and I assume it’s because of a refinish at some point. There is a Hardcastle hallmark on the repair band that is slightly different than what I’ve seen in other examples. And the obvious Sasieni stem with four dots that are really mostly white in person but have shown blue in photos.
Plan is to cleaner up and smoke, just wanted to see if anyone recognized the pipe or had any insight.
