Dr. Grabow Pipes

Out of the two discontinued Grabow pipes I've got I like the shape of my Silver Duke the best. In a previous post I learned it was a banded medium billiard. I found this pipe on (the one in the top of this picture)pipesandcigars.com. They call it a Cardinal and everywhere else I look online the Cardinal doesn't look like this. Do they have the wrong picture for that pipe on their website? Or is it possible to get a Cardinal that looks like an old Silver Duke?

Be wary if you are ordering DG pipes by their shape. Many many many sellers sell by line of pipe and not shape. You get what's on top of the stack.

The DG Cardinal is not a specific pipe shape. It is produced in a variety of shapes, but they will appear with similar finish and quality.

Only the DG Full Bent and Omega are produced in one specific shape, but maybe different sizes.
