Passatore Pipe Mystery

[Gabby Hayes]

Is anyone familiar with the Italian pipe maker "Passatore"? I just picked up an estate pipe on Ebay and I've never heard of this brand before. I purchased it purely because of it's aesthetic appeal. Snokingpipes.com wrote in their description of another Passatore estate pipe that they knew very little about the maker, but that the quality of the materials and the level of craftsmanship appear to be on par with any Savinelli or Peterson.

A good picture of the stamping and the inlay on the stem would greatly help in identifying the pipe.

Here's the only markings on the pipe.

Looks like a pretty nice pipe.
