It looks a bit different to me. I always thought it was closer to the BC petite churchwarden.That one was a Savinelli Brunhilda.
Spelled it wrong above, but the Broomhilda was heavily marketed at the time of the movie's release and named after Django's wife. The front view of a Dublin bowl is often quite narrow due to the conical chamber.
My little peterson calabash churchwarden is very similar as well:
Surprised Peterson didn't try to cash in on that one.
It’s not the best pipe, but super light and clenchable for a churchwarden ( 0.7 oz) and it burns shag nicely. Good for quick smokes with a fairly small chamber. Better pic from SP:

I really dig my Tsuge Blowfish it was 2 dollars over your max. I wouldn't get it if you won't eat because of the few bucks. Though important fact is I found it on Smoking Pipes using their pipe locator. Picked the smallest bowl depth and looked at a couple of pages found something I liked. If you're a cheap bastard by choice or situation you could see if you can find the same model of pipe cheaper somewhere else. Though honestly I don't mind paying a bit more knowing the amount of selection that site has.
I'll second mso489. Found this EWA made Terminus, a hefty little 'lunch' pipe with a dry smoke system. It's a well made pipe and only about $40 new from Bruno at Estate-Pipes:
Version 2 by LIght Pirate, on Flickr He often carries an EWA or 2 and always some nice offerings from St Claude as well as higher end stuff. I've purchased a few from him over the years. Top notch guy to deal with.
I alway check out the baskets at the B&M usually a few nose warmers and smaller pokers. And most are well under $50. If you are looking for what I call a 20 min smoker you could just pack a smaller bowl of bacci.
I like my Peterson Belgique, a Group 1, smallest, but nicely made and can do a full-length (say, about 40 minutes) with flake/coin/plug/rope tobacco. These go for about $75, but can be had new on discount during sales. Small pipes are convenient and provide a lot more smoking than you'd think.
During my 20 plus years among pipes, I've had great success in Ebay. Most pipe 10 to 30 dollars for what you want initially.
