File:EyupSabrisPair.jpg|This pair of wolves is difficult to date, The "yellow" wolf is signed only with his trademark, connected "E.S" intials; no date, no "serial number". Estimated at circa 1979 to 1982.
File:EyupSabrisPair.jpg|This pair of wolves is difficult to date. The wolf with the yellow stem is signed only with Sabri's trademark (connected "E.S" initials). It is not dated and has no serial number. It is estimated at circa 1979 to 1982.
File:EyupSabris horse.jpg|This horse is signed and dated 1999, and with a full presentation case, plaque, matching carved tamper, but no papers.  Sabri did a long series of unicorns that look exactly like this horse but have a single, spiral, and threaded-to-unscrew-and -store-for safekeeping horn of black water buffalo. It weighs in at a hefty 148 grams. 
 
File:EyupSabris Dragons.jpg|This dragon is signed and dated 1983. It is virgin, but came with no case.
File:EyupSabri vines-and-flowers.jpg|This is a very early example (signed-and-dated 1982) of Sabri's vines-and-flowers abstract with an acrylic stem and red presentation case. This dates it before the exclusive deal with the Korn family/Royal Meerschaum Store.
File:EyupSabris grouping.jpg|Upper most are two signed and dated Sabris. On the left, a straight billiard, horn stem with a pierced arabesque accent band around the top of the bowl and a slotted (double-wall) rim that allows light from above to shine through the pinhole piercings).  It is signed and dated 1998 dated, but no with tamper or papers.  At right is a tiny signed and dated (1998 again) arabesque pot.
 
File:EyupSabri vines-and-flowers.jpg|Very early (signed-and-dated 1982) vines-and-flowers abstract with an acrylic stem and red presentation case, which dates it before the Korn family/Royal Meerschaum Store exclussive.<br>
File:EyupSabris Dragons.jpg|This dragon is signed and dated 1983. It is unsmoked, but came without a case.
File:EyupSabri arabesque.jpg|A spectacular arabesque-and-Sabri-signature big bold flowers, 1/2 bent pot in a blue presentation case (white lid suggests pipe is a c.a. 1984 -85). It is also a "ring" (a la Sevkhet Gezer, alongside of whom Sabri was carving at the time).  That arabesque or "Celtic knot band around the upper part of the bowl is actually detached from the bowl itself, and rotates smoothly over sloping channels of bundled papyrus reeds while at the same time being retained securely against separation from the bowl by overhanging and under-slung ledges.  This "concentric, pinched-at-the-waist-bundles of reeds" is echoed in the shank and crown treatments. While very large, the pipe only weighs only 49.2 grams.

[[File:EyupSabris horse.jpg|thumb|left|A rare horse from a private collection (all rights reserved)]]The horse on the left is signed and dated 1999. It came with a full presentation case, plaque, and matching carved tamper, but did not come with papers.  Sabri did a long series of unicorns that look exactly like this horse but have a single spiral, which is threaded so it can be unscrewed and stored for safekeeping (An example of Sabri's unicorn appears toward the top left of this article). The spiral on these unicorns was made from black water buffalo horn. This horse to the left is not just a unicorn with a missing spiral, however, as there is no threaded hole made to receive it. It's a huge piece, weighing in at a hefty 148 grams.
[[File:EyupSabris grouping.jpg|thumb|A grouping from a private collection (all rights reserved)]] In the grouping on the right, uppermost are two signed and dated Sabris. The straight billiard on the left of the grouping has a horn stem pierced with an arabesque accented band around the top of the bowl. It has a slotted (double-wall) rim that allows light from above to shine through the pinhole piercings.  It is signed and dated 1998, but came without a tamper or papers.  At right in this grouping is a tiny arabesque pot, which is signed and dated 1998.
[[File:EyupSabri arabesque.jpg|thumb|left|A spectacular arabesque-and-Sabri-signature bold flowers, 1/2 bent pot from a private collection (all rights reserved)]] The Sabri arabesque and signature bold flowers, 1/2 bent pot to the left is in a blue presentation case with a white lid. The white lid suggests the pipe is circa 1984 -85). It is also a "ring" (a la Sevket [[Gezer]], who carved along side of Sabri at the time).  That arabesque or "Celtic knot band around the upper part of the bowl is actually detached from the bowl itself, and rotates smoothly over sloping channels of bundled papyrus reeds while at the same time being retained securely against separation from the bowl by overhanging and under-slung ledges.  This "concentric, pinched-at-the-waist-bundles of reeds" is echoed in the shank and crown treatments. While very large, the pipe only weighs 49.2 grams.
