Would anyone have some info on Gasparini? I've been looking at a couple over the last few weeks and like the looks, but wondering are they well made. Any info would be great.

I have a few Gasparini pipes. They are real sleepers IMO and are seldom talked about by collectors but believe me there are some magnificent Gasparini pipes out there. Here's a photo of one that came from the late Jack Ehrmantrout (owner of Pipe Collectors International PCI) collection. It was one of his favorites that he never smoked. Some are stamped 1912 briar, which is indeed some old root. As most pipe companies/makers they make different lines, some higher grades than others but IMO if you find one you like, go for it.
That's a nice looking pipe, doc. I understand that the "M" logo stands for Mario (Mr. Gasparini's first name)and should date to the mid-1960's. The "G" came sometime later.
