Which Peterson Do I Want?

randelli · Mar 20, 2016

I think I want to buy my first Peterson. I know what I want; but don't know what I want - know what I mean? Maybe you can tell me the style and number?
Let me describe it for you:

~a close but low full bend, almost like an Oom Paul

~a relief/rusticated/blasted in dark brown or black

~a military/system/spigot mount

~medium to large size - not super-huge

~apple or bell shape

~pics would be helpful too!
Thank for the input

I am thinking something in the XL23 shape. In the Sherlock Holmes series it is known as the LeStrade. I have seen the XL23 in all sorts of finishes and with a silver spigot. It is a nice looking pipe. I quite fancy one myself.
Google Peterson XL23 and see what pops up.

Thanks Jazz!
I did a search and that is really close to what I want. In addition to the XL23; I liked the 03, XL02, 302, and 303. The descriptions read like they are big pipes - especially the 302 and 303. Anyone know the dimensions of these?

Here is a catalog of Peterson's pipes, side by side according to style. Hopefully this helps! I like to look at it to exercise my saliva glands. ;-)

(If it doesn't come up, just do a Google search for "Peterson Pipe Catalog")
