Take a look: are these pipes worth a darn?

[Ropey]

Know that one of those is a FAUX spigot slash army mount. I forget which one. Turned me off from buying it. The metal on the shank doesn't actually go inside and the stem contacts wood.

EDIT:

Here's a quote from a site...

"*The Stanwell take on the Army Mount, like many European makers now really should not be classed as such. The use of the 9mm filter makes it almost impossible to use a true army fitting. A standard 9mm filter tenon is used to hold the mouthpiece to the pipe, with the nickel band just acting as a decorative feature.*"
