So this is probably the photography playing tricks, but the reflection along the bottom of the pipe seems to indicate that the lower line of the pipe isn't perfectly straight. It sort of wobbles north at the shank/bowl transition.

Only other thing I spot is a small flaw on the bottom of the shank next to your stamping.

Oh, and that spec of dust on the stem. :P
Bottom is straight. No wobbles.

Flaw is called a sand pit. The only visible one on the pipe. That is why I used a medium/dark color. It is solid.

Now you're just playing favorites. :evil: :P

Is the edge on the top and bottom of the button unbroken? Looks a might sharp.

Hey, I'm trying here! :thumbsup:

Two tiny scratches on the bottom left of the slot.

Probably a photo anomaly but that's all I've got.

Is the button a touch too thin?

If not, now I give up.

Is the slot too tall for the bite behind the button? Giving too thin of material even though behind the button is within spec?

Heck I dunno, beauty pipe! I just want a point, lol

Let me guess, all I have to do is contact the maker and tell him what I want? :lol:
