atjurhs Mimmo Provenzano makes great pipes but I have to say that price is slightly high. Usually his B grade pipes sell in the 160 to 180 range. Maybe you can talk the seller down by $20.
Would this be considered a Zulu or form of Dublin?

I saw this thread brought back, and remembered that about a month ago I bought a nice Edward's Zulu. I thought it was interesting that it had mild saddle stem on it. Wasn't very familiar with this pipe brand, but it's a nice smoker and has no fills.
Nice pipes! These fall into the area of shapes I like but will probably never own myself. They just don't feel comfortable in hand to me. I like them though.
This is a Castello Sea Rock Shape 38. Castello web site list shap 38 as a Horn. Looks like a Zulu to me.
I'll have to add the zulu/yachtsman to the Ivarsson Blowfish as shapes that have stolen my heart this week. So that makes two shapes that I'd love to acquire, though I'm retired.
Am I correct in saying that zulus make up most of the photos above? That the yachtsman's bowl is not as high in some way making the pipe look like a zulu/pot, so bluegrassbrian's Dunhill is a zulu while simong's, though he calls it a zulu, is a yachtsman? I'd just did 15 minutes looking at definitions for the two without finding anything definitive.

A zulu has a forward canted, cylindrical shaped chamber like a billiard, and a yachtsman has a vertical conical shaped chamber like a dublin. The shape of the yachtsman looks forward swept, but there is no cant to the chamber. Simong's is indeed a zulu. Here are the yachts.
So almost every pipe above is canted, thus a zulu.
The pipe I thought might be a yachtsman, an example of which is, again, simong's st. claude, because of its more squat profile, is not.
Your Rattray's Marlin might be? If not, is there a yachtsman in the thread?

The Marlin is an oddity, it's more of a Dublin but the curve and cylindrical chamber make me question it. Ant224's Castello looks quite yachtsman to me.
Great collection guys. I have one Zulu a Rad Davis. Even though it smokes incredibly well, I have bought no other Zulu's. I am not a fan of the forward cant as it makes lighting without burning the rim a tad tricky, much too tricky for my sorry ass.
That's why I like the yachtsman design so well. The pipe has a forward swept design without an actual forward cant making it far easier to light.
