Hello everyone,
I have been looking into the art of pipes and there is one particular style that caught my eye. I was hoping some of you might give me more recommendations.

I am looking for more pipes that look kinda like this:

So it's a straight billiard pipe (although it could also be an egg shape, or similar).

What i really like in particular is that it has a smooth part where the shank meets the stem, while the rest of it is sandblasted and much darker that the smooth part, which stands out. And also the stem narrows down pretty quickly, instead of gradually tapering down the closer it gets to the mouthpiece. I believe its called a saddle stem.

That is the main criteria that i have for what i am looking for. The pipe in the first link is almost perfect, but the stem could narrow down a little further away from the shank, like the stem in the second link.

I would prefer the option to use a filter, but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit:

I also really like the pipe in this video:

However it was made by a small manufacturer, and im looking for something that is available somewhere online and could be shipped to Europe.

I have also been drawn to that style as well. A saddle bit is supposedly very comfortable. The "Lovat" style is probably what your really looking for, but there are interpretations of it.

Maybe too lower level, but check out Pipesandcigars Stanwell Brushed Black pipes at $49.95. Many shapes

offered, but the same dual texture. You could get two and still save a little money.

I have a Stanwell Zebrano that is very similar to the ones you describe (more of an apple shape than a billiard or an egg, but with a zebrawood inlay on the shank, contrasting with the sandblasted finish on the bowl). The saddle bit is short (more of the lovat style that Voorhees mentions). It's a great little smoker, and although I haven't seen any for sale online recently, occasionally someone gets a few in. I'd peruse the Stanwell offerings at various dealers, and check the "Pipe Locator" at site sponsor Smokingpipes.com - there's not a filter for saddle bits per se, but the Lovat style uses them exclusively, and will give you a starting point.
