[QUOTE="BriarPipeNYC, post: 512562, member: 4199"] Just recently bought a refurbished pipe, a GBD Rhodesian. In the description by the seller, "no flaws detected" was noted. I bought the pipe. Upon examination I quickly located a putty fill near the bottom-side of the bowl. I "detected" the "flaw" within a few seconds, and the refurbisher never noticed the fill as the pipe was being buffed. OK. I kept the pipe, but would have preferred to know about the fill BEFORE the purchase. Fills, pits, putty, cracks, if disguised should be noted by sellers. But, some pipe-makers and pipe-owners view these imperfections differently. A perfect, straight-grain, in my mind, means "[b]perfect[/b]"....zero, zip, nada.... flaws, fills, cracks, etc. Frank [/QUOTE]
