Can someone help identify a year range of this Dr Grabow.

[Grizzly]

I found this Grabow in a box of my dads things that I’ve had put away for several years. It’s a meer lined , 6” long , Italy marked , no spade marking. I do know dad smoked this around 1980ish up until his passing a few years ago. All I really am looking for is a year range and style. I’ve found similar styles online researching but they’re usually a smooth finish. Any help is appreciated

• Meerschaum Lined (c1985-91 to ??) -- Meerschaum Lined were originally imported from M. Gasparini in Italy for Dr. Grabow. Sparta finally figured out how to do them and only imported the "plugs" later. Early Dr. Grabow Meerschaum Lined were stamped "Italy" with no Spade. After 1989, Sparta got rid of Italy and added the Spade.
