Jeppesen Neerup pipe "Excellent" grade

[aztecbull]

Hi pipe bros,

I came across a Jeppesen with a marking of "Excellent" grade, I know Neerup pipes are always in Classic, IDA and Boutique grading etc. and I never seen an Excellent grade before, any idea what's that excellent grading? Thanks in advance.

I know he uses numbers now and the higher the number the better. I havent seen it either. Chances are he has been at it a reasonable amount of time and used several grading systems.

Most grading systems have to be taken with a grain of salt as they provided with by the carver himself. One carver in the last ten years got into a money bind and started rating all of his pipes very highly.
