I need to identify this pipe. Stamping is strong enough, but the "fancy" script is making it difficult for me to identify. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

Interesting line, exalted pricing. He does bring the freehand along into the present. These look a little distracting to me, but they sure don't look retro re-warmed Danish.
Interesting pipe. I pull wood riddled with shipworms up off the floor of the ocean all the time that looks just like that.
Micoli became somewhat famous (notorious?) for never straying from his artistic path. Love his pipes or hate 'em, he didn't give a damn. 
His work is quite collectable today.

I did read that he gets a kick out of how folks respond to his work.

That pipe has a goatee!
He had a secondary line of pipes engraved E. Oslo that I didn't know about until I bought this one. I believe he bought already made pipes from different sources that had no factory stamp on them, and then "customized" them to his style.
I love Micolis, and I love that one! He carved using a Dremel, and I love that his stems were custom-cast AND carved as well! Do you like it, 7charb?
I am selling it for a friend on EBeast. I dared not try it out. I am listing yet another one for him on Saturday. He thought it was a "Midori"- LOL. That is why to the wisdom here to find out more.
Micoli's were created for the Spanish Inquisition as torture devices. They shoved them up your ass and took note of who screamed the loudest. Now they are a collectible pipe, but I would clean it real good before smoking.
Guess what? My good friend sent me yet another Micoli. This one I actually find gorgeous. Who knew?! It came with the original box too... I refurbished it.
