It took some time but at last I've found a great bulldog for my little Peterson collection. I really like saddle bit bent dogs but I fell in love with the grain on this pipe and now after seeing it in person I'm not so much against the thick stem which seems to carry the lines of the diamond shank well even as a bent. The Flame Grain line by Peterson's are not high grades but the briars are singled out for their exceptional grain patterns. A flaw or two might keep them from becoming a pipe costing hundreds of dollars more and thats fine by me. This pipe has got more than enough class for this working man.
