What you have is... some blurry pictures
Can't really tell except that it's carved

Yeah if you want people to actually be able to identify that, get some clear well lit pictures on this thread.
It looks like it is probably briar, and I'll bet it's some obscure maker because briar figurals are pretty rare.
But I think no matter what, you have a message from your Grandpa telling you "pipe smoking is awesome, you really should give it a try".

yeah, took pics with my phone sorry for blurry images.
I actually just started smoking about a week ago and its weird i never thought i would like pipe smoking. i bought a starter pipe that just crapped out on me 1st smoke with that gold tobacco. aromatic Cavendish i think something like that. but i picked up this one because i thought it was cool looking and turned out to be an incredible smoke.
still am working on my packing technique so i don't have to relight 3 to 4 times every bowl.
but its got a engraving of a dragon on it, no writing on it. it is a little different because it has a pipe plug which all his other ones doesn't have.
I wasn't really looking to sell it, just seeing if it was like a 1000 dollar pipe that i should leave sitting on shelf.
Also one benefit i have found is that since it takes a long time to smoke a pipe i am smoking less cigaretes, which is a plus for the lungs.

took these with laptop hopefully better. its to detailed for a picture i think.
i was over exaggerating 1000 usd. but i thought you would understand what i meant.
