== About the XS marks == | |||
Doug Valitchka and a fellow collector on eBay have done some research as to the XS marks that appear on some Sasieni pipes, and what they may mean. The following are the results: | |||
With the help of Al Jones I obtained the three pages of brochure. Al sent me the link: [https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/date-ranges-of-sasieni-shapes.40180/] | |||
I had difficulties to see the images at the end of the blog on my browser ie. Chrome so I attach the images for you. | |||
You know the one page on the middle, but the third at the top contains explanation to XS stamp. | |||

There are also marks "s" after the model numbers. Well, about the "s" conclusion is not so straight forward. | |||
This is my conclusion: A Sasieni pipe with saddle stem may not have 's' on its shank (see point 1 bellow) because if it does not have contemporary with other kind of stem. | |||
The final conclusion above I got noising as follow:: | |||
1) Several models have saddle stems and has no 's' after the model number, the examples are 15, 20, 70, 76, 78, 101, 102, 103, 105. | |||
2A) Only pipes with saddle stem AND which heave counterparts with tapered stem are marked 's', for example 19 and 19s Pembroke etc. | |||
2B) The 's' after model number in catalog is the first in SXS on shank ie. 56s Viscount Lascelles. | |||
3) Also, there are XS pipes with saddle stem but not marked SXS - i.e. 111xs, 107xs. The others ie. 108xs and 109xs. I cannot say what kind of stem is but is not the tapered. And most important these pipes do not have contemporaries with other kind of stem. | |||
