I've been looking too! A couple of the other shapes in Eastern Europe, but no bulldogs.

No shape stamp? It looks like an 80s but the swooping rim sides are intriguing

Im not going to say it’s my favorite shape, but I will say I find myself enjoying the pipes of this shape I have because it’s seems the ones I have are darn good smokers, my 1st better grade pipe I bought and still smoke(only aros in btw) is a Savinelli Florence, even though it has a fine crack in that diamond shank (imagine that) it still smokes like a charm.

The bent Rhodesian is a work of beauty.

Your correct. Under a hand lens I can see " 80S". Under Google imagesi can't find another with this unique bowl contour of the rim

Could you please upload photos of any stamp you see on the pipe

 

[Dshift]

I think I see a round made in stamp on your photo but I can't be sure

Here are a few Rhodesian and Rhodesianesque pipes of mine. I like larger bowls.

Yes, it is, also known as a Pickwick. I have two in this shape.
