Hello,

Here is an odd one, anyone ever come across one of these?

Seems to be a Mother of Pearl inlay on the stem.

Copied and pasted from source...
my father Pasquale Luppino was the pipe maker. Lord Pearl, his trademark, was based on the initials of his first and last names. He was born in 1909 and died in 1973. He grew up in southern Italy, but he lived in New York and worked in his own shop as a pipe repairman for large companies like Dunhill and Garfinkel. He probably started making his own pipes in the late 1940's to early 1950's and continued until his death in 1973.
