Pipestud Needs Help Identifying A Pipe... Once again!

[pipestud]

I recently received a beautiful looking unsmoked pipe to sell but the consignor didn't know who made it and all I found was a "GR" stamped on the pipe. I seldom will list a smoking pipe if the consignor doesn't know the maker, or if I can't figure it out. but I am willing to do so with this pipe because it is obviously beautifully made, has terrific grain, an enticing thick bowl with wavy rim, and a long slender mouthpiece that is obviously hand made. Additionally, this pipe has an acrylic shank extension that is two tone acrylic and perfectly executed. The drilling is also perfect with the draft hole entering the tobacco chamber dead center at the bottom of the bowl. If someone knows who "GR" is, congratulate him on making a spectacular pipe!

Can anyone help me identify the maker? Photos included.

Thanks Gentlemen,

Steve

A beaut.

Ginger Rogers is the only name I come up with, but have a bit of a doubt she made it.

From the looks of his website, he hasn't made any pipes since 2016.

He backed off the US market for several years when the proposed deaming regulations threatened pipe makers. He's mostly on Instagram now.

Brian's located in Alabama so likely he works with pipe clubs there if at all.
