Yep EU convention silver marks. I have on one of my Pete’s, and also was on an original Sherlock Holmes I sold a while back
And here it is! A 309 Spigot that comes with the option of a 9mm or condenser. I ordered mine with the condenser. Can't freaking wait to get this here.
I put in for a smooth, hopefully I can get one. This one is exceptionally nice to me

I'm very excited for this release. I didn't buy the 2024 Christmas or Halloween as I knew we'd be seeing something soon from Mark. Never did I think it would be what it is, so I'm glad I held off on the Peterson Holiday release.
Does anyone here know what medium Peterson uses for their sandblast finish?
While I won’t be buying one, those are very nice!
Is it just me, or does the silver ferrule on stem have more of a “rounded” corner, harkening back to the patent design more than the almost squared off ones of recent decades?

I think you are correct. That's what makes this release so amazing.
If you wanted to buy just one quintessential Peterson Pipe, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better one than the smooth bourbon. I can't afford to get one at this time so I'm going to break out my XL339S second and smoke it in solidarity with this release.

Maybe read this old closed thread first. There is a post that indicates silica (more than 1%?) was banned in the 60's in England ... so probably blend of glass beads et al.
Rustic vs. Sandblast :: Pipe Smoking Basics & Beginner Questions
In pipe finishes, what's the difference between "rustic," or "rusticated," and "sandblast?" I used to consider them pretty much synonymous, but I see that there are some pretty fancy "rusticated" pipes available that are real works of art. For instance, in the Peterson line, many pipes are...

Your question got me curious and has caused me to learn more about sandblasting and rustication than I thought I would ever know ... but :

I am currently researching a Peterson I recently acquired and will post pictures and information when I get it all together.
Reach out as I did to Peterson in Dublin. Send them some pictures. They are very helpful.

I recently concluded some "horse trading" with this guys keeper whom you may recognize.
In trade I acquired a beautiful Peterson System Pipe. When I received it I had some question regding the stem as being correct. I contacted Peterson in Dublin and they were extremely helpful. After sending them pictures they confirmed that the Irish Free State pipe that I received did have the correct stem, was made at the end of that period in about 1937 and was a shape number 9.
Thank you @Sobrbiker

I recently acquired this Sterling. In the process of getting it cleaned up and ready to smoke. The hallmarks are almost all but gone but from my research I believe it to be 1938-39 ish. Would welcome any other knowledge!
Love it!
If it didn’t hold a third of a tin, I’d have kept it
I’m glad it’s found its next caring custodian.
