Hey Jiminks,that looks great. Congratulations. I'm happy for you friend................????
Turns out that I'm getting the sandblast (thanks to my mother-in-law for the birthday present), and the rusticated versions, too. I'll have the complete set!
Thanks, Dino. Wilke No. 515 in a 4AB is the best combination possible. I picked the Heritage Brown for the 515 since Rathbone smoked a brown 4AB. Rathbone's tobacco in a Rathbone pipe.
Ordered a preemptive strike of 515, just to be ready....
Great job getting Peterson to remake it and on getting the full set!
Is the stem is acrylic or vulcanite?
Acrylic. It's not a hard acrylic and I find them very easy to clench. Btw, I have now smoked each pipe three times. I'm pulling very little dampness out of the system well. They are providing me with cool, clean, dry smokes.
Thanks, Jim. I actually prefer acrylic over vulcanite.
Here's Mark Irwin's article about the 4AB:

My mistake, he says the special edition of the book will be out Thursday.
No way I'm buying the book before a pipe, lol. Doubt I'd even want to thumb through it and read about a pipe I didn't get if it turns out that way. After? I'll take the risk the book may be around.
Tonight’s anticipatory meditation. 
Good sir: you are one hell of a legend. That’s about all I can say right now.
LOL, I hope nobody relied on SP's email to signal time to buy. I'd already placed my order 9 minutes before I got it and pipes were dropping like proverbial flies.
Terracotta that kept intriguing me and Heritage that was my original desire are my "finds" - looking forward to enjoying them next week sometime!
And @jiminks my Heritage is apparently kin to yours - #44!

#86 Heritage for me, although the Terracotta finish was hard to pass on! Thrilled!
