Endless Search For A Meerschaum

[mp31guitar]

You would think after searching through over 3000 meerschaum pipes listed on ebay, there would be at least one that would look like the one Lee Van Cleef smoked in For a Few Dollars More. I've been searching on and off for a while to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Heck they'll carve your face on a pipe if you pay 'em to.

A custom Altinok Meer will run you around $400 though

Looks like a fairly standard bent billiard/apple to me, nicely aged....

Shouldn't be too hard to find?

Its just a billiard bent really, I cant imagine its that hard to find, of course the stem would need to be yellow, and tthe bowl would be snow white before aging so youd have to look for something different than the picture
