It appears to be meerschaum.

Do smooth meets have this kind of “pattern” on them? And what’s with the golden Color band?

There's no grain and the mottling can definitely appear on meerschaum.

And what’s with the golden Color band?

The ferrule is typical with a military mount.

Wow I hope you bought this! Very cool Pete but also haven't seen something like this with a gold (brass?) ferrule. You should ask in the Pete thread. Those guys know everything.

Looks like a gold banded meerschaum to me. Didn't know there were any, but why not? There were gold banded system standards...... I have one.
This looks like the equivalent of a 313.

Is Germany like a gold mine for pipes? You're finding some amazing pipes.

aren't gold bands supposed to have hallmarks on them? I have seen some silver petes from the 40s which had a weird coating that looked like gold(not plating)

I don't think so , but I am putting a ton of effort in finding unusual pipes and getting them

from whole Europe not only Germany. At the same time when I look at the Us market I think the same. For example I can't find any Peterson sports, short or sportsman pipe in whole Europe, at the same time there are dozens on the US ebay for dirt cheap...

The one I have is a 314 "Gold Block", stamped on the shank. I don't recall what is on the band... but it is gold plated.

I saw that series last night while doing some research and this pipe is probably also gold plated nickel but not a gold block
