[QUOTE="Niblick, post: 594011, member: 4505"] For me the older pipes are all about the stem material they used back then also. You'll know you have a good one by the weight of it in hand. It seems to have a different density to me. The oxidation is surface only, is easier to get that jet black sheen to it and keep the fit to the shank. Cheaper material stems you'll lose the diameter fit to the shank of the stummel because the oxidization goes deeper. [/QUOTE]
