You could wait it out a bit. If that pipe in Italy has remained unsold since 2021 there’s a good chance it’ll hang around for a bit longer. See if something turns up in a month or two and if not then you can probably still grab that 313.
But if you really love the 313 then I’d say splash the cash now. I had the thought with a different Pete that it would continue to hang around unsold since it’s been years since its release. Kept putting it off though I would check if it was still available every few days. After an about a month or month and a half of doing that I checked one day and it was gone. I’m still pissed about it.
I've put a watch on it and will wait. I've got a few others I'm working on getting.
Understood! The system 313 has lately become my 'go to shape'. 
I NEVER have a bad smoke in one. I have three & a fourth is on the way. 317' also.

I LOVE my 313, bought it new last year and it smoked like a champ from the first bowl. I've kind of made it my VA and VaPer pipe. Absolutely lovely with some St. James Flake.The system 313 has lately become my 'go to shape'.
What is the difference with the 317? Smaller bowl but slightly heavier? Is it more of an apple shape, like a mini 303?
In case anyone wonders how it smokes - FANTASTIC.
I think I need a full harem of 9BC's.
For me it clenches with a similar angle & stability as my 314's with the new acrylic stems.
317 is billiard shape and the chamber is quite small.
@revnatorade Fantastic pictures of your collection! Looking to expand my Dracula collection
Thanks. I've got two more showing up tomorrow and I recently found two more that I would like. They are beautiful pipes and I love the variation of the stems.
I didn't score that. I did buy this today on ebay. Alot of the pipes are 80 and 90s. Can't wait to get it!
I thought it looked more like a pub pipe. Good price on it. If I didn't already have 2 D18 shapes, may have gone for it.
Yes you are right about it being a pub pipe. I overlooked that they also have the “hand made” stamp.
Here you go @AroEnglish
Peterson's "Hand Made" - SOLD
This is another nice Peterson from a well cared for collection. The rustication is deep and gnarly. Chamber is sound and drilling is perfect. The trim ring is Sterling as is the inlaid "P" in the stem. Inner rim is in-round and sharp. There are no tooth marks on the acrylic stem. Large...

He also sold a 2021 POTY.
I would have grabbed both if I were quicker.
I was sent there by @marlow-se and the 4AB had gone within minutes of my seeing it 
!
And I was also very tempted by the "big'un" he had for sale. Wish I'd nabbed it now.

Yes, exactly so. I do find the 317 smokes so great, that the small chamber almost enhances the smoke, particularly for tobaccos that have a unique signature, ,like Ennerdale Flake or War Horse. It is enough without being too much, if that makes sense...
Four new Pete's arrived today from across the pond.
Saw this unsmoked beauty on SP today.
