Radice Collection Grade 3

[Gus]

This new Radice Collection Grade 3 from year 2000 and a private collection is on the way, Difficult to find one of these new and unused with more than 20 years old.











Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like it as much as I do.

That grain is top-notch.

Enjoy. Unique yet functional shape and wow, terrific grain.

I'll join the chorus in saluting the grain. Interesting shape, graceful bend to the stem, classy silver band. Pretty cool!

What fabulous grain and shaping. Hope you love it, and not being Castello, I'm sure you got it at a much more reasonable price. Castello-wise add another 2 or 3 hundred.

I can mentally feel that pipe in my hand. It's unsmoked yes??

Nice score!

 

[Gus]

thank you all.. @didimauw , never smoked, it is from the year 2000 or so, from a private collector, I also bought a Don Carlos 3 notes Fiammatta from the year 1995, never smoked,. when Bruto Sordini still put the white band on the mouthpiece. Also brand new and unused, and I also bought some other new ones from that time, he collected pipes but he smoked only a few of them.

I will make another thread with it in a couple of days, when I get them both.

Yesterday, after asking Bruto, I also decided to ask Radice for this pipe, and I got another big surprise, it is from 1997/98 and the current value of 1000 € approx. 1200 USD, as they very kindly tell me.

"GOOD MORNING MR . MARTINEZ CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE PIPE
IS A PIPE BEFORE THE YEAR 2000 I THINK 1997 / 1998 COLLECT 3 WAS THE HIGHEST GRADE OF BRANDING
CURRENTLY A PIPE WITH THOSE CHARACTERISTICS WOULD COST ABOUT 1000 €.

BEST REGARDS

MARZIO RADICE"

So, I bought it for less than the third part, new and unused and now I have an exceptional pipe in the collection...
