It looks to be lead pipe and the end is quite irregular so no clamp is
going to work well.


If there's enough of this lead pipe to work with, why not do the
"Bleedin' Obvious"(tm) which is simply to squash the last inch or three
flat and fold a half to one inch of the flattened end over to seal it up.

Lead is such a soft and malleable metal that such sealing methods on
water and gas pipes were a common sight for many first time buyers moving
into pre and post war built properties during the 70s and 80s.
