Pipestud - Pipe Identification Help Needed!

[pipestud]

Hello Gang,

Once again I need to see if there is a member here who can help me out. A consignor sent a nice pipe for me to sell, but even with a magnifying glass, I am not catching the name of the maker. I think there should be a law making all markings on a pipe in 12 point font and block lettering! Any idea as to the maker?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

It looks like a cheap basket pipe. I'll give you $15 for it so it's not a complete loss for your client.

Thanks for the pointers, gentlemen. I do believe Shane nailed it. Although how you did that is beyond me, Shane. Thanks!

And Python, I will certainly take your offer into consideration... okay, I just did and thanks but no. (-;

Shanez has a mind for stampings. Probably the same way you have a mind for tins and could probably see the back of a number of tins without reading a thing and know what it is.

I sometimes have the same thing with stampings, but Shanez is much faster than me.

Shane... I have another mystery stamping for you to 'decode'. Please reply if you can identify this Italian pipemaker's signature. Thanks G.
