Hi, found this 'Castello' pipe at my father's Collection.

Could you give me tips or some help about identifing the model of this pipe:

If I'm not mistaken, it is an example of the very desirable shape 55. For a lot of excellent information on the company, it's history, and the various markings on the pipe see here,

As you can see from the markings, the grade of this very nice pipe is COLLECTION kkk, and the 55 in the castle is the date of production, 1947 + 55, 2002.
