Help Me Identify My Stanwell Pipe

Hi Guys,
I'm new here, and pretty fresh pipesmoker. Sorry for my English, it's not my first language. I used to smoke cigarretes for several years, few month ago I finally quit this nasty habit and switched to cigars which I really enjoy. Then, about month ago I've started smoking pipe. It's not that easy as cigars, but I keep learning.
Not long ago I've decided to buy some estate pipe and try to learn how to clean and refinish it. I've bought for couple of $ a pipe advertised as "Stanwell no 38". Here are original pictures:





But under this name, I cannot find any pipe similar to mine. There was no visible markings on the pipe, no embossing etc.

The pipe is 9mm filter, with Stanwell logo on the top of the stem:


The pipe finish was in particuraly bad shape, so I decided to remove it with alcohol. After removing the finish, I accidentally found some almost vanished text on the back:




The top line is "weLL", almost certain this is just half of the Stanwell logo (I've checked here: http://pipephil.eu/logos/en/logo-stanwell.html), then there is visible "48" just under WELL part of the logo, with some unclear letters to the left (from the mentioned site, I've learned that might be trademark register number).

The last line is "**GE". Where most probably it's "ROGE". There is nothing visible more to the left. The R letter is somewhat visible, and I'm certain for that it's R for 90%, I'm not sure about O before "GE", it might be different letter.

Then there is a big 40 or 48 on the left side.

It's rarther not "Stanwell ROUGE" as this "R" is second letter left to certain "GE" part. I cound't find anything that can fit on the mentioned side. Maybe you can help me decipher it? I want to know the exact model and series, maybe year to find an original photo from the original catalogue.
Btw, Is it briar for sure? I'm pretty new to this hobby, so I don't know how to be sure aobut it for 100%. I wanted to repaint this pipe in green. Can you recommend me the right way to do this? I wanted to use spirit varnish and finish it with carnauba wax. Is it okay?

It's so great to hear it. I've bought it just randomly searching my local auction portal for like $8 :D
I've removed all the finish with alcohol, it was something strongly RED, easly pealing off when brushed with just a little of strong alcohol on the paper towel. The wood itself was also coloured, I soaked it in bourbon for several hours, and it dessolved completly.
So what would you suggest about the refinish? Right now i want to soak it a little more, to remove all reddish color still on the wood. Then I wanted to clean the inside of the bowl with sand paper. Then use softer sandpaper like 800-1000-1500-2000 to sand the bowl from the outside. Also I wanted to polish the stem to make it shine (what method would you suggest?, I've only soaked it in bleach)
Then I wanted to finish it in similar method as it was originally, but in different color. Do you recommend me against it?
Do you know, based on the description how I removed it above and first pictures, how it was originally finished? If I shouldn't paint it in any way, what should I do after sanding? Use wax? Can you recommend me any good home-made method for beginner to finish it correctly and not damage it? (my first restoration ever)
