LHS AMERICANA !! Super Rare Model -WW2 Era Smooth "Domestic" Briar -Never Used

Description: In order to mainstream the listing process I am updating the template. ALL pipes will be reamed to a smooth chamber removing most carbon in order to make sure there are no internal cracks, charring or burnout. The airway will be cleared of any obstructions. The exterior of the pipe will be cleaned and polished to bring out the grain and check for any cracks or repairs. Any oxidation will be removed from the stem, treated with obsidian oil and or polished. I NEVER sand or "top" the bowl keeping the pipe dimensions exactly as the carver intended it to be, so most pipes will have slight rim darkening. I will always show High def rim pictures. As always, returns are accepted - no reason needed! ** As you can see in my listings I very rarely use the word Rare, but this one is!! WW2 Era Americana made of domestic or likely Mission Briar, made from Manzanita burl. I communicated with LHS collector that believes that this model was made for US troops and it was not listed in catalogs of that era. Pipe has fairly non descript grain common with Mission briar. Stem and synthetic screw in stinger are mint. Chamber is dark but from stain not use. I passed a pipe cleaner thru it and found no sign of use. Nice piece of LHS history. ANY PROBLEMS, COSMETIC FLAWS AND MEASURMENTS WILL BE LISTED BELOW: Please see the HD pictures as part of the description. If the rim of the bowl is out of focus, I was trying to show the interior of the chamber. I Ship Thru ebay so you will receive all tracking information and can follow the package. *****I DO NOT make a profit on shipping!! Price of shipping WILL be on the label. International shipping available thru Ebay. Ebay sets all International shipping rates and fees. I will wrap it very securely so this pipe will arrive just as you see it.
