[QUOTE="docwatson, post: 341144, member: 232"] Monbla, You are totally correct. And that is not an assumption, it is fact. I personally know people that have been to the factories, Castello being one in particular. And that is their method of pricing certain pipes. They will take a shipment of pipes going to a retailer and stamp them according to the $$ value of the order. As far as Dunhill is concerned their sizes may not be very exacting but it does give collectors and smokers some relative size for comparison. And we all use these size numbers as a description when you can't physically hold the pipe or when describing a photo of a particular pipe. The sizes however don't hold true in very early Dunhill pipes, especially during the patent era where I have seen ODA's that were so small that today they would be considered an average group 4 size.
