My broken Castello: Sea Rock Billiard with Walker Briar Repair Stem. The sterling silver band was on the pipe when I originally purchased it.
And here is another Castello, shape 33, which is a short, chubby canadian that is very nice to hold in your hand. It is a searock (sort of rusticated) collection.
I also have a 55 shape, which is more little but similar even if the bowl is a little different. I'll show it later (eheh searching for the pic in my pc...)

Yeah, another great 55; is it the little "diamond" on the side that i see ? It's so rare to see those here in Italy 
Here are the photo's of my 2013 CPCC Castello display and the handout. 8O

Wow, Dave, what an incredible display of Castellos. I think that I could have spent two hours just looking over those pipes and tobacciana! It looks like you received some well earned recognition as well.
Those strap stands with the Castello castle logo are uber-cool!

Wow Dave, your Castello pipes display is gorgeous. Did you come to Italy to choose them personally ?

Really love those models, and I have never seen that spiral work on the bowl....wow, think I'll have to visit Castello before Christmas eheheh
EDIT: sorry guys, my grammar is much less than stellar eheheh

When I took delivery of what I thought was my 14th Castello shape 215 earlier this week I wanted to snap a group photo of them but when I dug them out it turned out I had 15. Oh well, here they are. 8O
Very nice!
I've been too lazy to take pictures of mine. Nor am I that great at it. I have 12 of them and love 'em.

I posted these elsewhere but this seems the proper place to show them. Both Occhio di Pernice. They are both glorious smokers, neither of which had been smoked more than a couple of times when I purchased them.
The second of the two is a large pipe and the airway is larger than that of the smaller pipe. Both are easy draws.

OK let me see what I have here.
This is my newest, winging its way to me from Italy, an estate Castello Castello:
Castello 4k Collection hawkbill:
I think this Sea Rock is a KK...
K Occhio de Pernice (no idea how it got the OdP stamping TBH but it smokes like a champ)
I forget how many Ks this Natural Vergin is
KK Old Antiquari
Castello "G" (one of my favorites... terrible photo)
And I forget how many K's this NV is as well
I have others, and more have passed through my hands (including 3 55's, that shape just doesn't work for me...), but that's what I have as far as pictures go for now.

after a long time pondering the extravagance of this purchase,i finally pulled the trigger on buying this pipe.
i looked far and wide on the internets to find this particular shape, but i couldn't find it anywhere. i didn't want just any bent billiard; i like this one. in the end, i decided the remorse of not having it would be worse than the shame of spending too much for it.
