This is a Charatan's Make, Selected 47 pot with fishtail mouthpiece. The Charatan Selected were near the top of the list when it came to high quality grain and this one certainly lives up to its reputation. The photos don't really capture how tight the 360 straight grain really is. Unfortunately, I was faced with a couple of burn marks as a result of the previous owner's carelessness. One of the burns was on the rim. Fortunately, I was able to remove most of it without losing much bria...r. The rim still has a nice shine too. The other burn is more like a scorch mark, on the right side of the shank (pic2). This one isn't nearly as noticeable and so I decided to leave it alone. Afterward, I polished the entire pipe and, as you can see, it is looking good. This is not something that a collector would want to place in a gold presentation case. But if you are looking for a beautiful, rehabbed Charatan Selected pot that will give you all the enjoyment you can handle, this one is looking for a new home...and a second chance. It won't disappoint.
