Thanks Chris, it's a really good smoker and the army mounted system allows to open the pipe even when it's hot without fear, it's nice.
The next one is sometimes referred as "la pescatora" shape (the fisherman shape, even if literally it shoud be translated as the fishergirl). It's an old one, probably from the 60's. As you may notice there is not the usual white bar as logo, but a dot that looks like a little diamond. Of course it's plastic, but shiny like a little diamond.
This is because it was produced for export in the USA. In those times Mr Scotti decided to put a little "diamond" for pipes to export to USA. I bought it used years ago, probably someone who bought it during a trip to the USA ?
I paid it really little money because it was in horrible conditions;so I send it to Castello asking if they could help the poor pipe, and a month later they gave it back to me shining and nice, although there is a little fissure in the interior of the tobacco chamber unfortunately. They "closed" it with ash and honey as it was very little and high in the chamber, an old trick....I smoke it very carefully, not filling it up to the real top of the bowl, from time to time. But it's going great.
