[QUOTE="Frost, post: 144256, member: 974"] Not familiar with the brand, but that appears to be a rather nice pipe. I did find this quote, which you may or may not have seen already: "Lacroix Pipes have a rich history of pipe making tradition. Eugine Lacroix began making pipes for the Delacour factory in the 19th century; his sons founded their own factory in 1921. Two of the grandsons (including Jean) continued on in the business, but parted ways and struck out on their own in 1962. At that time, Jean set up Jean Lacroix pipes, coincidentally in the old Delacour building his grandfather started in 85 years prior. Today, Jean Lacroix, Chacom, Jeantet, and Vuillard are all pieces of the larger Cuty-Fort Enterprises, and Jean is actively involved with the prestigious Confrerie des Maitres-Pipiers de Saint-Claude. Jean still makes pipes; his spectacular freehands are known throughout the world." Found it here: [url=http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/i-would-like-information-on-this-pipe]http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/i-would-like-information-on-this-pipe[/url] And they found it on what appears to be a defunct page from the piperack.com.
