This has to be one of the largest Royal Flushes that Paolo made. And I’m guessing, but an Elite C must be one of the highest grades he produced. You certainly couldn’t beat the straight grain by much, that’s for sure. The draw is open. The stem material is acrylic. The plateau on the thick rim (yes, I can get my thumb easily into what mistakenly looks like a narrow chamber) exhibits tightly spaced ‘needle points,’ mirroring the tight grain under that rim. Uniquely, in my experience, the nomenclature also states that the pipe was “made by hand in Italy in 03.” If you need a Grp. size, I’d say 7 or 8. New.
