I have been on the hunt for a certain Brebbia model. I have seen it listed as: Brebbia 624 Rocciata Bulldog Rhodesian.
The link below is to an exact example of the pipe, which recently appeared on eBay. (Sadly without me knowing it; $45 is a steal):

Not to start a debate, I’d call is a bulldog, rather than a Rhodesian, because of the square shank. But whatever it is called . . .
If not this pipe, I would like one very much like it, by whatever maker: large, rusticated (NOT sandblasted), black bulldog. The feature I like best is that the rim of the bowl is left plain and stained – to my eye setting it all off beautifully.
Anyone seen one? Anyone got one?

I have a lightly smoked Brebbia 602 First with sterling silver mount.

Not the same shape, but it is a great pipe. Smokes well, well designed, well balanced.

Heres a (bad) picture of it, let me know if you like it I'll let you steal this one too.

I'll even sanitize and clean it up like new for you

Lonestar that is a lovely and interesting pipe, and I thank you for taking the trouble to share it with me.
Unfortunately, it's not quite what I'm looking for though.

Smooth top, rusticated/blasted finish pipes are really appealing, I can see the attraction. Cup-o-Joes in NY had a number of Brebbias in their showcase, check their online site. This is pretty close, right?
