[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 40868, member: 3"] Occhio de Pernice means Eye of the Partridge, or birdseye. It is a special designation within the Collection line for crosscut pipes that have remarkable birdseye. Previously, Ochio stamped pipes were a grade of Collection line pipes unto themselves - meaning there was no differentiating level of quality at least as far as nomenclature went. A Collection pipe with spectacular birdseye was graded Occhio, and an Occhio was an Occhio was an Occhio, eventhough the quality of the pieces ranged widely. Now the Occhio is still a special classification within the Collection line, but they are also graded with the K designations to note differing grades of quality. If your pipe is not stamped "Occhio de Pernice" it is not an Occhio, regadless of date. It may or may not be worth as much as a Collection pipe, depends on the quality of the individual pipe.
