Description: I do not know much about the maker of this pipe. The monogram style nomenclature either reads M.A. or A.M. It has been suggested that it could be a Maga De Arezzo, which is a Bartolini sub brand, but I've never seen them use a similar nomenclature. So, I am not sold on that idea. It is made in Italy and very reminiscent of a Castello shape 55. It's a fkat bottom sitter and very heavy...3.02 oz to be exact. All I do know is that it is something special and you'll probably not see another one again. It has been fully cleaned and sanitized inside and out. Reamed, restained, buffed, and waxed. All teeth marks removed and stem deoxidized. It's used but ready to be smoked again. It still has many years left in it. I try my best to take good pictures from many angles. But, since I am not a professional photographer, the pipes always look better in person. If you require more pictures on a pipe you're interested in, just ask. I try very hard to get the "ghosts" out of every pipe. This is usually possible, but occasionally, no matter how hard I try, and with every method exhausted (salt & alcohol, Everclear & cotton balls, retort with Everclear, ozone treatment), it just isn't possible. It's the nature of the beast, I suppose. God knows what some people smoked and how much of it. I hand sand and polish all my pipe stems rather than on the buffing wheel. It's just my preference. I also always ream the bowls down to briar. I do not leave any cake. I follow it up with an organic food grade bowl coating. If bowl coatings aren't your thing, then it's easily removed with a damp paper towel. I very rarely use tenon expanders on loose stems. Most of the time, bees wax does the trick just fine. I prepare all my pipes to my preferences. If they aren't your preferences, I'm sorry but you don't have to buy any. This is how I prefer it to be done. You don't have to agree and again, you don't have to buy any. If any significant repairs were done, then it will definitely be stated in detail. All pipes that I sell as refurbished, refreshed, repaired, restored, etc. will be in ready to smoke condition. Just add your tobacco of choice, and you're ready to go. The prices I ask for my pipes are a reflection of the work that went into them and the materials/supplies used. This is not a cheap process and can be very time-consuming. I offer my services on pipes so anyone interested can contact me for more information. I also buy pipes. It can be 1 pipe or many. Just contact me to work it out the details.
