Identification Help: Fancy Cursive "Stamp": "Pfeifen Lob.. Lab?"

[subsalac]

Atleast that is what I assume, I could be dead wrong so don't let me mislead you, but I believe it's a German 9mm pipe, the clues to me are "Pf" which could only in my mind be pfeifen , the German for "pipes", and the *gigantic* compound word below. Anyone here have insights? Cheers~

Schneiderwind is a very old tobacconist (est 1846) in Aachen at the western end of Germany.

no problem I used to try to translate cursive writing off the back of WW2 photos.

I always thought "pfeifen" was a verb.

I always thought "pfeifen" was a verb.

No it’s plural for pfeife.
So it says “Schneiderwind Pipes”

Pfeifend is a verb that means piping or whistling.

I always thought "pfeifen" was a verb.

"pfeifen" is the infinitive of a verb and means, as @BROBS said, "to whistle", whereas "Pfeifen" is the plural of "Pfeife", which is the term for our favoured smoking instrument. "pfeifend" is the gerundium of "pfeifen".

So, it's a gerund, like the "F" word.
