Hardcastle Question

[xrundog]

I’m eyeballing an attractive Royal Selection billiard. I’m getting that cool English blast vibe. Problem is, no dimensions provided, no size context in the nicely numerous pics. I could ask the seller. But pics of the stamps are good. I’ll ask you folks instead. Does Hardcastle have size stamps? There’s a big 8 on the far right.

I don't know if this is any help. I have a Hardcastle Old Bruyere smooth billiard. It is stamped 94 on the bottom of the shank. It is a smallish pipe, chamber dia. 3/4", chamber depth 1 3/8", approx. 5" long. I'll post a picture in a bit.

If I had to guess, from looking at the pictures, I'd say it looks like grp 3~4 in size.

Hardcastle Old Bruyere 94

FWIW - it is a very good smoking pipe.

I feel like it’s a three. Which is weird with no context. I’ll probably buy it if the price stays reasonable.
