I’ve eyeballed several GG pipes on Etsy. They have some great looking pipes at entry level prices. I’ve never pulled the trigger.
If they smoke as good as they look then that’s the deal of the century.

Considering that the "V" of the shank doesn't extend into the bottom of the bowl, I'd be more inclined to call it a diamond shanked brandy. Very attractive pebble rustication.👍

Pipes.

Looks like someone found it abandoned on a fence post and put it up for sale.

That's a nice looking pipe. I checked out the other offerings and they all are good looking pipes. I might have to pull the trigger on one in a couple weeks when I get back from vacation.

Beautiful pipe. Not familiar with GG. Have to change that. Perry......the G.G. stands for Golden Gate Pipes. Made in the Ukraine and for the most part they are well crafted and good to great smokers. I know a few pipe smokers that rave about this brand/maker.......especially for the price👌👍👍

Here's a nice GG squashed tomato that my wife bought on Amazon about 5 years ago. I liked the looks and quality for the money, and then bought one of their pear wood pipes. Still smoking the pear wood pipe but sold the briar because the bowl was really small. Both pipes are a real bargain and show great build quality. It's hard to go wrong with one of these! That tomato looks great.

If anyone interested - I can point towards the website with GG pipes for almost half the price.

I really like your pipe...not quite a bulldog, but near enough to have a good home in most any kennel. I surely like the double bead-lines, and that finish will feel great in your hand.
I've been tempted buy the ones I've seen on Amazon, but I didn't know much about them till your post; so thanks ,and may it give you years of enjoyment.
