Up for sale is a nice Vintage Mauro Armellini-made Lovat pipe stamped Verona / di Mauro Armellini / 702 / Italy. This particular pipe was made prior to 2004 during the years that Mauro Armellini was at the helm of his company (now under the management of his lovely daughter Wilma). The dark walnut-stain rustication highlights the smooth light chestnut-stain undertones. The silver-gray swirled acrylic mouthpiece shines like glass, is without scratches or teeth marks, and ...is replete with the trademark Armellini white dot within a brass circle. The beautiful mouthpiece meets the shank of the pipe which is embellished with a briar / acrylic / brass bands ... the appearance is quite striking. The rim exhibits some darkening which is a testament to this pipe being an excellent smoker.I’m selling this pipe for a dear old friend who wants to thin his herd of smoking pipes after many years of collecting & smoking. I'm listing this one as a Buy It Now item as me thinks we'll find it a new home soon at this price.Thanks for looking and please keep an eye on my future listings as I’ll be selling more pipes from my friend, as well as quite a few of mine, in the weeks & months ahead. Thanks for looking & God bless.
