Just tossing out a feeler because I know most folks here are into larger smoking pipes. So if one of you has a ropp vintage 347 (preferably Sandblasted) laying around and want to find it a new home let me know! Picture for reference, definitely do not want the church warden

I have one of those vintage Ropp’s in a bulldog shape. Great smoker but I’ve never gotten use to the horn stem. It’s hard. But, I keep looking at the 428B shape which is very similar to the 347.

It's like the truncated 347. Cool shape but I want the little extra height

I have three Ropp Vintage pipes so I know why you're looking great pipes.
