I've been wanting one of these Nording ducks since the first time I laid eyes on one. They're not common, but every once in a while one might pop up on Ebay. This one however didn't make it on Ebay. A Facebook friend offered it to me for a great price after I had commented on it in the background of one of his photos. At the time, I was broke, and he held it for me. A crazy first of the year, with the loss of my father and things made me forget all about it. Until a few weeks ago, he reminded me he was still holding it for me... no rush, mind you. He just wanted to remind me it was still on the table and he hadn't offered it to anyone else or intended to. I, again, was broke at the time after spending about 500 dollars on a pipe and some tobacco (I never rarely spend that kind of money all at once, but I did) so I told him I was still interested in it, but apologized for forgetting and told him if anyone else was interested, then by all means let them have it. He told me he wasn't making the offer to anyone else and wanted it to be me that got it so he was continuing to hold it for me. So finally, a few days ago, I was able to make the purchase, and it arrived today. It's certainly a neat little pipe, and a fun addition to my Nording collection.
