I have scoured for hours and days looking up the markings on this pipe I recently received. I briefly found someone else searching for the same markings and the origin of the pipes but he had no luck. I have been to all the major websites for identifying pipes and had no luck. I am hoping all of you may be able to help find the origin of this pipe. Unfortunately I have to figure out how to add a picture to the forum, so I will give a description and place a picture in my album of my profile. The marking looks to be an "R" with a smoking pipe on the left that's stem becomes part of the "R". It is the only marking on it. Thank you in advance for any help and direction.
