Nice.
I'm still making and selling these Hatfield replicas too.
Alas, I've yet to see a clear shot of the stem. I fiddled around with all sorts of stem and button combinations and finally said screw it and settled on a conventional button on a very slim stem and shank.
I may be wrong but the movie was filmed in Romania and I think they picked up the pipe there. Otherwise, someone would have surely stepped into the limelight by now.

Love it, Ryan. Nicely done.

Button looks a little thick. Accurate, but thick.

The "time machine" historical accuracy vibe is cool, but you've gotta go all in to make it work. Namely, the 30-30 cartridge wasn't invented until after the H-M feud ended, and while jacketed bullets had been (barely), they weren't commonly available until after WWI.

Sorry, I'm all out of .32-20 and these were the purtiest bullets I had.
I'll try harder next time, pinky promise.

I'm not sure there is a stem, it really looks like one piece. I have one screen shot that shows theres definately a really short saddle at the end (maybe 1/2") and a very tiny bit of a flare.

That's one of the best Devil Anse bowl replicas I've seen yet. The stem vexes me too. I saw the same as you, Ryan, a flattened stem with a bit of a flare and it looked very crudely done. I wonder if a prop guy filed it down so Costner could clench it in his molars better. I've tried to clench a regular pipe in my back teeth and it isn't easy to do unless the stem is really flattened.
