The only thing to change, as far as I know, was the marking from "Super" to "Finest Silvertip."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the silvertip brushes a seperate line from the Select line?
His Savile Row brushes are all silvertips...the QED Selects come in pure, best and silvertip.

Love the SR3824. It's my "special occasions" brush.
