[[Image:Barling_pre_lovat.jpg|thumb|200px|Pre-trans Dublin, [http://smokershaven.com Smokershaven.com]]] Pre-transition nomenclature includes '''BARLINGS MAKE''' in block lettering, three digit shape numbers, and sizes noted with M, L, EL, EXEL, EXEXEL, and G. According to Tad Gage, the only four-digit number that denotes a Pre-Transition piece begins with "1," which was used for pipes sold in England. Any other four-digit Barling pipe is a transitional piece-- (Tad Gage in P & T magazine). Note: Pre-transition Guinea Grain pipes had ''Barling's Make'' in script, but experts indicate all other pieces with ''Barling's Make '' in script would be transition or post transition.
