Unsmoked Heinrich Strambach with amber & original case – thoughts?

[Mr. Currie]

Hello fellow pipers, new member here and I am looking for some help with identifying an estate meerschaum I recently purchased. From what I gathered using AI, it’s potentially a Strambach carved by Heinrich (note the cursive H inside the bowl). It’s unsmoked, has a real amber stem, lovely case and seems incredibly well made. Any ideas on the maker or potential value is greatly appreciated.

The easiest (and perhaps quickest) way to find out for sure is to ping the owner, Edith Corrieri: Pipes Manufacturing Robert Strambach Vienna Austria - EINSTIEG - https://www.strambach.at/anfang.html

Although I will note that the none of the given names of the founder of Strambach (Edmund), his successor Robert, or Robert’s daughter Edith begin with an H, although that could conceivably be the initial of the employee who carved the pipe.
