[QUOTE="Idlefellow, post: 584577, member: 598"] Not according to Smoking Pipes or Peterson; not an ebony. I got nowhere with Smoking Pipes; I was hoping they'd take it upon themselves to look at some others in stock to see if they were the same or if this'n was an anomaly, but no dice. After a few back-and-forths with Peterson I got this reply this AM: [I]I had a chat with our factory people to better address your doubts. As we said, manual skills play a role in this, but the actual finish has evolved over time from a brighter color like the one in the System Standard ad to the present darker shade. Also, upon checking the pictures of the pipe you bought on Smokingpipes.com, we agreed that the specific pipe needed to be buffed more to get the color out more clearly.[/I] I've already returned the pipe and received a refund, but I forwarded Peterson response to Smoking Pipes and asked for a refund of my $11.15 to return it to them, since by Peterson's admission it was defective. We'll see... Yeah, I know: I should have bigger things to concern myself with. Principle and all that. [/QUOTE]
