Hi
I got a pipe of carmignani. How do I know if it was created by Fritz Becker or Baldo Baldi ?

According to pipedia, if it was made by Fritz Becker it will be stamped Carmignani Hand Made or Carmignani Roma and by Baldo Baldi with stamp "B.Baldi for Carmignani Rome" in different categories of quality (BBB, BB. B. ... )

No, I mean the mouthpiece logo, also a picture of the entire pipe would be nice.

Ok, two of mine. One from 2014 and quoting myself, "This is an example of a pipe made by Fritz and Paolo Becker for Carmignani. The markings are exactly what Paolo Becker lists on his website."

Unfortunately, I think this pipe was topped at some point, the proportions just don't look right.

Here is another Carmignani pipe. A lovely straight grained Canadian with a carefully crafted acrylic stem. Becker's site notes that in the period 1970-'74 "The pipes made in this period have no identifying nomenclature" This pipe is marked on the bottom with what almost looks like a shop stamp Hand Made for Carmignani Roma which is actually been applied a little crooked (it's what makes me think it's a shop stamp) Of note is the same gold C R mark on the stem.

A very well done sterling band. And, a beautifully crafted acrylic stem, with a clean, sharp edge at the stem /button transition, very thin in it's dimension front to back, and with a slight concave curve on its face.

As I recall I bought this pipe from Italy in 2013. Is it a Becker made pipe...I'd like to think so. The quality and craftsmanship are there for sure.

And just one more. An interesting Italian pipe, Carmignani Roma Fiamma. Who made it? I really don't know. It is not marked the way Paolo Becker describes on his site....It's a good size pipe , nice thick walls and an acrylic stem. The second picture shows it with a Group 3 Parker to get a sense of its size.

Thanks a lot for the answer. My pipe has the same marks as the first pipe. So as I understood the pipe was made by a Backer.
