[QUOTE="LL, post: 518192, member: 95"] Yeah. The stem is definitely a molded replacement. That plus the 6/8 confusion is what led me to conclude the pipe was a copy. Turns out you have a legit old Dunhill stummel (bowl), but a more recently made stem. The smoke that travels through it doesn't care, of course (in the pre-collecting era stems were like shoe soles or car tires... you just replaced 'em as needed). So, unless you're a serious-minded collector it makes no difference at all. Anyway, as the saying goes, thanks for playing. I love the old British stuff and can't resist a mystery, so had to dive in. Appreciate your indulging me. :D [/QUOTE]
