I found an unusual pipe online today. It was an impulse purchase I guess, even though it is rough. For $15, why not, eh? These are the sellers pictures, not mine, so I guess I can't 100% determine condition until it's here, but it appears the stem is rough and there is a band or sleeve or something missing on the shank. I am thinking about taking a page from the WW1 playbook and make this an "army mount" pipe if I can flare on my 45-70 casings to the right diameter to slide over the shank.
Anyone know what was originally supposed to go there? I assume it was a metal ring of some sort.
The stem also needs some love, but maybe I'll have it sent out for that.
