I bought this vintage estate pipe on eBay. Other than the number '130' and 'Italy" it's unmarked as to the manufacturer. I've been running searches trying to find out the maker without any luck. The only flaw I can find are a few small lines running along the pipes bowl where the stain did not penetrate the briar which is under the shellac or varnish. I'm sure this is the reason it was not stamped with the maker and ended up being a second basket pipe. Anyway, for $15.00 I think I came out ok with a nice quality 6 inch pipe. Maybe someone here might have seen one like it and can help out.
