KIRSTEN 2nd generation

Department : METAL STEM & Screw thro bowl
The 2nd generation of Kirstens settled down with O rings on bits and valves. The push rods now have a thinner end, a fit for the hole in the screw, another aid to cleaning.
Finishes were natural alloy polished, black (B), Heritage (X) which could be an antiqued brass effect, brushed silver or even a coppered effect.
