Dunhill's Shape 120

[Honkytonk Man]

Regarding Dunhill's 120 shape, was it available across the Group Sizing chart, or just as a Group 4? The reason I ask is that I've only ever seen Group 4's, either on display or for sale, which isn't often.
I understand that the LC was it's "big brother", so to speak, but I haven't seen any other sizes to confirm.

The 120 is by nature and design a large pipe, I've never seen one less than a 4.

Which is what prompted my question.
You seen any thing larger than a 4 Sasquatch?

It's really hard to find any Dunhill that doesn't have an exception.

Nice, thanks for sharing, Alejo.

So this kind of prompts me to ask.
Currently, the 120 shape is now designated 102. When was the 120 stopped?
I don't find any info from PipePhil, or Pipedia.

Probably I was wrong, mine is clearly a 102. Anyway it's difficult to find differences between this to shapes.
On the other hand, the group system has changed, with the pipes being generally larger today than in the more classic period, or so I think. I have a group 4 Thanshell which is bigger than a group 5 Bruyere that I also have.

Mine is packed away for my move, but here’s an old flea bay pic of it. It’s a ‘67 (birth year pipe)

Yeah, this is what I was trying to pin down.
In my opinion, I think the 120 was stopped. The re-iteration of it is the 102, in all/most group sizing. Let's not forget, Dunhill's of old were way more sleeker and less robust to what they are today.

Nice! Group 4?

Yes sir, surprisingly large bowl.

 

[Honkytonk Man]

Yes sir, surprisingly large bowl.
