Ok, so if you were to take a guess at who made this pipe, what manufacturer and shape number would it be?

Yeah, looks like a Savinelli 320 to me.

+1 Savinelli 320

The rustication looks like Lone Star Briar Works.

Ok, so it isn't just me. 320 Sav was the first thing that popped into my head when I opened the box.
I measured it every way around, and the dimensions of literally everything but the stem are the same as the Savinelli 320KS. The stem tapers down faster and is flatter.
But it's actually a Volkan Antiqua.
I kinda wonder if they bought some Sav stummels and just finished them.

The lack of insignia on the stem is what kept me from guessing it was one of his, but I've never seen a 320 with a tortoise shell stem.

That's why i thought he might just be getting some nearly complete briar, fitting a stem and finishing to his own choosing.
Not saying for sure that's what's going on, he might just be a fan of Savinelli shapes, or worked there for a while or maybe just a happy accident.

Now that you've told us I still don't have a clue.

The classic Sav 320 author shape is often cloned. My well-seasoned Morgan Bones is often mistaken for a 320.
