I recently got a royal demuth zulu pipe, but it has a metal tenon with a seemingly rough surface. It seems like it could wear out the mortise, though it does feel better after I applied beeswax on the tenon. Any thoughts on if it is safe for the mortise, or should I replace it with a delrin tenon? Pictures included.




P.s., I wasn't sure if this section or the general pipe discussion section was more appropriate, mods, feel free to move
 
Looks like either tar deposits or corrosion. Either way a quick rub with steel wool will clean it up to the point that you won't need to replace it. After you get it cleaned up just keep it waxed.

I think a Brazilian Wax might a bit too much
