''Where we poor mortals have written in generalities and offered educated guesses, Jon has provided detailed, exact, and thoroughly researched data that dispels many of the smoke clouds in which pipe history is enshrouded.

Fortunately, Jon has graciously consented to allow me to incorporate some of his findings in this revision of the Barling page. For serious Barling enthusiasts Jon’s essay is a fundamental “must read”.”''

The following is a cased set of spigot mount pipes from 1923, and they both have model numbers stamped onto the shank. This confirms that Barling was occasionally stamping the model number onto their pipes as early as 1923.
