Dating Ser Jacopo pipes is somewhat difficult, because Ser Jacopo does not generally use date codes (the exception being the Diamond Gemma series pipes, which are dated coded).  Early pipes (from 1983 to 1997) featured a red coral dot on the mouthpiece, sometimes found encircled in a silver ring.  This was discontinued and changed to a sterling silver letter "J".  On the Gemma series of pipes, the mouthpiece logo is a precious stone surrounded by an 18k gold ring.
