I may be mistaken, but isn't that the #7? The 28mm? I could be looking at it wrong, but from this angle, it looks like it has the base of the #7... still a phenomenal brush

Weird...the knot measures 24mm....it's marked a #6.....and you're right about the handle shape and color.

However, I wouldn't trade it if it wasn't. I love this brush. If it's a #7 then I guess I got a discount.

Well, did you order it from SRD?

Coincidentally, I have a handle with a 24 knot, in the shape of the #6, but the bottom says #7

I prefer the #6 handle, but that's just me.

Guess you got a cool one... Sell it for 400 on ebay!

Yup, got it from SRD a month or so ago. Point taken though, I'll email Lynn and Don and at least make them aware of it.

I wasn't trying to make a point... Just thought it was curious... The brushes are hand turned, and then knotted from TGN... so it's not like it's mass produced and fool proof... I'd chalk it up to a unique one and, if you aren't unsatisfied, count it lucky

Wonderful brushes though, arent they?
