I Restored a Gorgeous "JACA" Handmade in Denmark (Mystery to Solve)

[Humblepipe]

Just restored this "Jaca" pipe. I am posting the BEFORE first, followed by the AFTERs. As you can see on top of the shank, there seems to be a "V" or triangle (not sure which). A thorough search, to include Pipedia, led me nowhere. Does anyone know anything about this pipe? Gorgeous, right?

It still boggles my mind as to why people would want to cover that beautiful wood with a stain like that! Sheesh!

Mostly layers and layers of grime and filth. I think it was a pretty old pipe. Just contacted the seller (Ebeast) in case he has any info about it. Very intrigued by this pipe. Wish I knew something. Smoked it tonight. It's a keeper.
