Pipe in its case. It does indeed look like the old Meershaum with a horse theme, with the horse broken off. Was that a one-off or a production model?

Search Austrian Meershaum
That would be my guess, I think there were 2 major carvers in Austria
Shows alot of age and use, was a well liked pipe

Thanks, Tom, I'll try searching there. Might you remember the names of the two Austria carvers?
