[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 434604, member: 32"] Afternoon PM!!!! OK, since you asked, I'll throw out my 2 cents worth!! First the stem...I'm guessing it's a replacement. I've never seen that gold band on a GBD. Also, I compared the brass roundel to three of my GBD's. It doesn't look quite the same. The "G" is slightly slanted to the left and the "D" is slanted slightly to the right. With all three of mine are the letters dead level! I also noticed that there "appears" to be two small fills on the bottom of the stem. The appearance may be an illusion from the photo angle; but I found it highly unusual for a GBD to have a fill/s. I own several (all rather old I admit!!); I've never had a fill on a GBD. The stain just looks like something was spilled on the wood. Sure looks like the briar has absorbed the liquid pretty deeply. Hopefully one of our pipe refinishers will chime in with some scholarly advice!!! I sure don't have any. I sure do like your pipe!! Great shape; I'll bet it smokes superbly. Best of luck to you :cheers: FTRPLT [/QUOTE]
