Vauen Royal 169, new dot mark and ring

I bought this Vauen exclusively for the shape and the colour, i wanted a black pipe in Lovat style. I didn't like the dot (looked like a copy of white dot of Dunhill) and i wanted to add yellow colour because the combination of black-yellow are the colours of the Byzantine flag (i am Byzantine-Greek from my father's side).
