Duca Alberto: Anyone heard of them ?

[mluyckx]

I found some Duca Alberto's that were very reasonably priced, but can't seem to find any information whatsoever on them. Not on Pipedia either.
I was told they are Savinelli seconds, somewhat like the Duca Carlo, but in a different color. They did have some fills, but overall for the price, it may a good pocket pipe.
Any info would be appreciate

I don't know them as Savinelli seconds.Never heard about them and never saw them here in Italy.They are probably made somewhere in Italy for the American market.If they are cheap and if you like them why not buy them ,simply think that price will be compatible with the quality offered

I bit the bullet and added a Savinelli Tevere 616 to the collection about 30 minutes ago. Up to 5 pipes in the collection now!
My local B&M had one for only $14 more than on-line. Saves the shipping and satisfied my immediate satisfaction urge ;-) will have my first bowl with a nice stout after dinner !
