▲ ◊ Ligne Bretagne, Faite en Brentagne, 5, 2 ◊
Artisan: Trever Talbert. His comments on these pipe markings:
"There was a brief period (Ed. note: about 2006) when I was marking the stem of each "Ligne Bretagne" with a number of liquid metal dots equal to its grade - a grade 2 got 2 dots, etc. It turned out to be too costly in material and labor and bother, so I stopped it after perhaps six months. So, there are a few pipes out there with stem logos, but not many."
Artisan : Trever Talbert. Traduction de ses commentaires à propos de cette pipe :
"Il y a eu une brève période (ndlr : vers 2006) durant laquelle je marquais les tuyaux de chaque "Ligne Bretagne" avec un nombre de points en métal liquide égal à son grade - un grade 2 recevait 2 points etc. Cela s'avéra être trop couteux en matériel, en travail et en ennuis, et ainsi j'ai arrêté cela après six mois environ. Il y a donc quelques pipes qui circulent avec un logo sur le tuyau, mais très peu."
