I have a pipe just like this. Different initials. It was among a handful of estate pipes i had bid on through eBay. It was in extremely good condition and smokes like a dream. I'm trying to dig up more information on this specific model. Any sources you would recommend?

I did some digging a while back, and didn't come up with anything specific. Here's a couple links that I found sort of useful.
