'''SYSOP Note:''' I am currently a little confused about where best to put the following examples of 3 digit numbers being used on Both Loewe and Civic pipes, apparently from the era shortly after Civic took over the Loewe operation. They are clearly the same shapes and numbers. These examples are from Yuriy Novikov, who has an extensive collection and interest. Hopefully he can clarify this for us. For now I am putting them here, and will add them to the [[Civic]] and [[Loewe & Co.]] articles. I am not entirely clear on how these examples affect dating the pipes that used 3 digit shape numbers, and would appreciate help from knowledgeable collectors. | |||
