Hi everybody.
As I said in my introduction, I'm Italian and I live in Rome.
From my ggfather, via my gfather and then my father, came to me the pipe I show you in the pictures.
The case is branded Premier (may be the maker from Chicago, Illinois?).
The pipe is not wooden made, but I don't know which kind of material is it - red, transparent, maybe a resin or...?)-

Can someone help me to discover more about it?

Grazie (thank you).

I don't know if this helps but at pipephil,eu it said the following about Premier Pipes:

"A brand of Reiss-Premier Corp. This corporate used to manufacture pipes with Redmanol stems."

Congratulations on a very fine heirloom

It looks to be
an oxblood meerschaum
ie meerschaum that has been pre-coloured/stained a very dark red or black colour

The metal cap is hallmarked 12carat rolled gold
ie not solid gold
