Special Orders are stamped SO, Special orders are priced using
the above
structure with possible some additional charge for a very
difficult shape.
Difficulty of Shape:. A size six billiard is the same price as the same size hawkbill, which is a lot harder to make.Pipes that are more difficult to make now carry an "X" next to the Size designation. If a pipe is extremely difficult it may carry an XX, tho those are extremely rare.
Logos
Silver Star: All pipes except freehands & pipes with very thin stems carry a handmade sterling silver star logo with a black enamel backing.
Gold Star: A grade of pipes that will carry a solid gold star as the logo. So far only three have been made and if I get one every couple years I d consider it lucky.
