Does Savinelli Still Make the 604 Shape?

[Hillcrest]

Their shapes do have variations. When I was collecting the 904/914/9004/9005 shape, many of them had different bowl and chamber dimensions. One 904 had a noticeably thicker shank than I'd ever seen on another. The 2 just denotes a system model.

A zero denotes the four digit era.

The four digits often have narrower stems as well.

I have the 2614KS rusticated and a 614 smooth. The 2614KS (King Size) (system) is only 2mm deeper than 614. The 604KS is 18mm wide x 45mm deep. I believe the 620 is 38 or 40mm deep.
They stopped using 4 digits in 70s and went to three digits. the 1xxx were extra large (now EX) , 2xxx large (King Size) and 3xxx regular normal size. I have read on this site that 18x40 or 20x40 is most popular and most sold size for billiards straight or bent.

I have never encountered a 4xxx until your post. I am not an expert on this just a guy with a couple of Savinelli's trying to figure out what he had. I hope I didn't misstate any facts I may have misunderstood.
Still learning !

Many of their shapes had a 4 digit code prior to the '80s with the main difference being a 0 proceeding the first digit.

I have the Hercules version. Don’t use it much but it’s a great chin hanger when you want to be hands-free for a good while. Peterson has a couple of versions of a full bent sitter. I have a 306 and 304. The pub pipes are great but don’t have a flat bottom.

That's an easy fix ... for some.

Plus I think there’s a good deal of meat there. It’s a great hands free pipe for long smokes. Wider chamber than the Savinelli, too.

I was thinking ... maybe a small rectangular stick on felt pad ...like for protecting furniture...easily replaceable ... no damage to pipe ...maybe I will try it someday if I think of it.
