A 3-digit system (“Interim”) was developed that showed a logical approach to identify pipes in terms of size, mouthpiece, and shape, with the 1st digit being the size, the 2nd digit the mouthpiece, and the 3rd digit the shape, i.e. the old “85” became a “321” which was a group 3 Apple with taper mouthpiece. This was soon to be replaced by a more detailed, formal 4- and 5-digit system around 1978. The 5th digit indicated the style of bowl within the group of a similar classification, each identified by a last digit, which could be any number between 1-9.

Some sources such as the Pipephil portal, indicate this change in markings occurred in mid-1976, others indicate in was 1974. Either way, we offer the information that comes from an official source as follows in a 4 digit example:

4117 =  4: Group; 1: stem (Tapered bit); 17: Shape (Straight Rhodesian* - Dunhill criteria).


While e.g. within the Gp.4 Billiard there were 5 different styles of bowls (5th digit being either 1,2,3,4, or 9), for a Gp.1 Billiard there were only 3 styles used (5th digit being 1, 2, or 9).
