I have been trying to find the Luigi Radice website so I could contact them regarding a Radice pipe I have.

Carved into my pipe are the eyes of a bird and the bill (duck-like) is carved into and along the shank and stem. In order to see the bird right-side-up, the pipe must be turned up-side-down.

The pipe bowl is the bird's head.

The only marking on the pipe is the word "RADICE".

Pipe was purchased on eBay approximately five years ago.

I wanted to include a photo but did not see a way to do this. (new to forum)

Would appreciate any info regarding the specifics described above.

Very cool pipes. L'Anatra also makes a pipe like that, and Nording made them for a while too. I may be getting my hands on the Nording duck soon, and I hope to get one of the L'Anatra ducks as well.

Duck or no duck, that Radice looks like a decent straight billiard. I'd happily have one if it smokes well, but I wouldn't pay a premium for the duck.
