[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 554238, member: 32"] Good thread!! My "problem" with Pete's are their seeming lack of quality control! Especially concerning "nasty little fills" they poorly try to cover up with stained putty! Not every Pete I own has them; but enough do that I hesitate to recommend them without due warning! Which is unfortunate as Peterson has many superb shapes (bulldog, various bents, apples, dublins, etc.) that are timeless. Regarding the Dunhill size comparisons...The DH shape charts have "evolved" over the years, especially since the late 1960's when DH changed its entire briar-curing and carving processes (not to mention its apprentice program!). I own 15/16 Dunhill's, one a 1969 (made from oil-cured briar); all the rest from the the late 19 "teens" to 1968. FWIW...FTRPLT [/QUOTE]
