It has the micro-fusion silver band, which is a bit tarnished and has been left in that condition. The nomenclature on the band reads, "Domina 97". The pipe is carved rustic throughout, with the exception of a panel on the bottom of the shank running from the bowl to the silver band. The nomenclature reads: "Ser Jacopo, Domina 97, Per Aspera ad Astra, Fatta a Mano in Italia". The stem is hand cut rod plexiglass with the inlaid sterling silver "J" logo. The bowl is 2 3/8" from top to bottom, with an outside diameter a little more that 1 3/8". The pipe is packaged in a special, and quite spectacular presentation showcase. A special pipe in every way. Ref: D1997-A |
Much of the information for this pipe is identical to the first piece, where there is a difference the type will be set in bold. It has the special micro-fusion silver band, which is a bit tarnished and has been left in that condition. The nomenclature on the band reads, "Domina 97". The pipe is rustic carved, but the top of the bowl is smooth, as well as a panel on the bottom of the shank running from the bowl to the silver band. The nomenclature on the shank is, "Ser Jacopo, Domina 97, Per Aspera ad Astra, Fatta a Mano in Italia". The stem is hand cut rod plexiglass with the inlaid sterling silver "J" logo. The bowl of this pipe is somewhat larger than the other. It is 2½" from top to bottom, with an outside diameter of 1½". This pipe is also packaged in a special, and quite spectacular presentation showcase which weighs about four pounds! Ref: D1997-B |

was sold out for some time. All the while, we had these two - in their original presentation showcases - just a short walk away. So the 1997 Domina isn't quite extinct, but will be soon. These two rustic pieces are available, and if you are interested in one, either you or your local dealer should contact us right away. If you don't have a local dealer, we'll assist you in finding a dealer through whom the sale can be made. Obviously dealers can purchase the pipe for their store stock, and anyone inquiring about that model would be referred to the stocking dealer. |

That means there is no number stamped on the shank to show where in the production run it was. On the other hand, there were far fewer Dominas made in 1996 and 1997, in fact about 150 were made, which makes them a bit more rare than the models which followed in '98,'99, '2000. |
