[QUOTE="gigi flic, post: 13128282, member: 91293"]Thank you Davey. Saw the silver hallmark but didnt see the letter C in it. Its an Austro-Hungarian hallmark and the letter is the city mark for Prague. Czechia was part of Austro-Hungary at the time. With the other thing i think i was misunderstood. There is an unique situation when I know what's supposed to be there. I wouldn't be messing with the pipe, I would be adding to it. In 50 tries if i can get a result ) On the right of the boar head there is an intact mouthpiece. Its a matter of carving a duplicate. Not an complicated shape. From an normal pipe i would use as a donor for the raw material. Same with the boars snout. The case was made to fit, so i have a general idea of the shape and size of the missing piece. If i can come up with an acceptable result, fine, if not, again fine. But I would never mess with the pipe as you see it now. Looking at the close up photos i thing I was wrong about the hunting horn missing its tip to the left of the boars head, i think its suposed to be a drinking cup . Cone shape piece missing by the looks of it. And bent to the left. Simple shape too.[/QUOTE]
