I would say the pipe is an AF&C pipe. The letters are faded but close examination reveals that I'm awesome!! Lol
Btw, that's Adolph Frankau & Co. They were bought out by BBB but still acknowledged until around 1920

Ha ha! Nice.
How do you make out the "A," though? I see what looks like an upright letter like L, F, E or P, for the first letter. And is that second letter an "F" or an "E"? It's definitely one or the other. And the third letter could be "C" or "O."
But "AFC" almost certainly wouldn't be Adolph Frankau. BBB (AF & Co) meers were always marked BBB in the case and the silver would be hallmarked "AF & Co" or "L.B." (Louis Blumfeld). Also, BBB never made pipes with raised filigree (or whatever) like that.
Well done Pitchfork!!
My entire line of thinking was a guess fueled by Day Drinking, fueled by a Past Expiration Date relatives hanging on like barnacles.
