I just snagged this beauty off SP:

It will by my first straight bulldog. I like the bulldog shape but typically avoid them due to weight. This one is only 37 grams.
Thanks, I hope it smokes as well as my other Ashtons. I am guessing once I get a bit of polish on the bowl from handling it, the finish will really pop.
It's hard to beat a classic English bulldog with fine silver work for looks.
I've had some nice real old timers from John's pipe Shop. I think if a fella really tried he could have a pretty fine collection of them.
