Speedy,
The Savile Row silvertip brush models are identified by a series of four numbers. The first two numbers indicate the model and the second the knot size. For instance, the 3124 silvertip is a brush from the 31 Series with a 24mm knot. The 3126 model is from the same series with a 26mm knot. And so on.
The Savile Row basic modes are: 31, 32 (long handles) and 33. There are several series with limited models, such as 35, 36, 37 and 38, each with a second series of two numbers that indicate knot size. For instance, the 3824 brush is from the 38 series with a 24mm knot, and also one of Savile Row's most popular brushes.
I have tried several of these Savile Row brushes, and loved them all: 3124, 3126, 3126 (short loft), 3128, 3130. The 3128 and the 3130 are big and luxurious brushes. My preferred models, however, are: 3124, 3324 and 3824, all with 24mm knots. My absolute favorite Savile Row silvertip brush is the limited edition 3126 in the short loft, which is no longer available. I love this brush.
Anyway, I think I have my numbers right. Either way, Savile Row brushes are a delight. Rumor has it that they are made by shavemac, because of the many similarities, but I would not know about that.
