In my opinion this is a classic English style Billiard. I love the look and the blast came out wonderful. This style is done much today and it has been done for years. Normally I taper the shank with a tapered mouthpiece but I am coming to appreciate this look a lot. I will be doing much more of this in the future. This piece is comfortable in the hand and mouth. Brown stain, hand cut traditional Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “wide” fitment. Graded S4. Thank you very much for looking.
