▲ Ligne Bretagne, Faite en Brentagne, 5, 2
Artisan: Trever Talbert. His comments on these pipe markings:
"There
was a brief period (Ed. note: about 2006) when I was marking
the stem of each "Ligne Bretagne" with a number of liquid
metal dots equal to its grade - a grade 2 got 2 dots, etc. It turned
out to be too costly in material and labor and bother, so I stopped it
after perhaps six months. So, there are a few pipes out there with stem
logos, but not many."
