Have found this on the Internet. Know very little about Comoy's pipes. This is marked Francois Comoy, Made in France. It has the C on the mouthpiece (? 3 piece). Is this a current production? Hoppes

I think it's a current production, to see the "C" on the pipe, Francois Comoy is the name of the first pipe Comoy who went to England, then became Chapuis-Comoy

who then gave the shortcut of "Chacom".
Chacom in France is therefore the owner of the Comoy brand and can enjoy coming out of Comoy commemoratives.

Actually, the history is a bit different. This will give you a timeline:

Though there are a few errors in it. Barling had already established a pipe making factory much earlier, but overall it's pretty much on target.
Here's a bit about the English Comoy brand:
