My new/used pipe. What brand is it?

[Wesley3sheds]

I got this pipe and it was quite dirty. After cleaning and cleaning it it turned out pretty nice. One question I have Is, what make/model is it? The signature is very hard to read. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is there any stem logo? The markings seem quite buffed/sanded so that might help...unless it was buffed away too which happens quite often.

There was nothing on the stem. I looked over the pipe quite a bit before I did any cleaning to try and pin point any “light touch” areas. I did t touch the name due to the fact that it was already so thin.

I’ll throw my dollar in. I’m going with something French made.

I hear ya. I just wish I had some idea of it's make. Well, here's to keeping it on the front page long enough for someone who recognizes it to drop by.

Looks like "-ous", maybe "-dous" on the end...
