Yowza. That thing is a stunner. The diamond shank with the gently bent stem is a combination I haven’t seen before.I just picked up this Radice Clear OP (Occhio di Pernice) diamond shanked billiard but I'm a little torn about it. It's unsmoked (I'm pretty sure) and has some lovely birdseye, but at 64g it's my heaviest straight by 15g. The auction description had no dimensions and I took a chance but this might just be too heavy for me.

Definitely get rid of it (by giving it to me!).I just picked up this Radice Clear OP (Occhio di Pernice) diamond shanked billiard but I'm a little torn about it.

Beautiful pipes, gentlemen!
I'm considering getting a Radice. There are some problems though.
I understand they don't have model numbers/names and shapes are a bit of a random thing.
So googling is rather complicated.
Two pipes of the perfect (for me) shape and size are currently listed on Al Pascia site.
The trim is not to my liking so I'd probably wait.
But can't find such exact shape on any other site that sells Radice.
Is it possible that they make a certain shape only for a particular store?
We are pipe twins. Mine has the same offset with the gold spots. Wait, did you happen to sell this on ebay perchance?My first Radice just arrived and I am so pleased with it! Drilling is perfect, weight and size are just right for me. It's a simple Hawkbill rind but it's just what I like. The gold spots are not perfectly placed but I even like that because it reminds me that this pipe was made by hand!

Hi there, yes that was mine! I loved that pipe but I needed to downsize. I hope you've been enjoying it, it's a great pipe.We are pipe twins. Mine has the same offset with the gold spots. Wait, did you happen to sell this on ebay perchance?

I bought a Radice Rind there as well - but I went to the store when I was in Milan.I bought this Radice Rind 1044 on Luigi’s birthday;
Al Pascia & My Radice Rind 1044 :: Pipe Talk
March 5th was Luigi Radice’s birthday, so to celebrate it, I purchased a Radice Rind 1044 Straight/Billiard from Al Pascia on March 5th. The pipe arrived in 3 days from Italy on March 8th, amazing service from Al Pascia! ? All I can say, for those that can’t afford Castello prices, check out a...pipesmagazine.com
Beautiful pot. Wish I could find that available here.
