I have a similar pipe to the original post, in a different Peterson series, the Around the World Series, which was done in a dark red stain, with different shapes representing different nations. It was a while ago, but I believe they had the U.S., France, U.K., Germany, and Ireland. The bulldog was for Ireland and had a Celtic design on the wide nickel band. That's my St. Patrick's Day pipe, though I smoke it any time during the year.
