Technically it's a bent Rhodesian, not a bulldog (sorry to be "that guy").
At first glance it looks like an Italian take on a Ferndown. Let us know how you like it, Dragon.
Goodness - that is a real beauty! Those Ser Jac's are really appealing, even better to hear they are good smokers as well. I love a black blasted pipe. I keep checking that Al Pascia page, how was shipping to the US?
Love Ser Jacopos. they have to be my favorite pipe maker. I just happened across a pipe I liked the look of when I was in Chitown for a visit and yes it turned out to be a Gepetto. Enjoy it, great looking pipe! G1
