I am looking to see if anyone recognizes this impressed mark. I am assuming it's the maker, but there is a small chip in the top of the marking. It's still a fairly large stamp marking, so it should be easy to tell if someone knows these well. An approximate age would also be awesome! I have tested it for Bakelite, and it was negative, and it really needs cleaning. Thank you as always and stay safe!!

Thank you, but I do not see the pic there. It's a good reference to have, though!

Oh, lol. Thank you.

I have been trying everything. I got to a site where there were literally hundreds of options of countries and makers and so much stuff my head was spinning, lol!
Do you have any idea what you think the age of it might be? I am really not very familiar with pipes, but I have had a few of these in the past. None were ever marked, though.
Probably Turkish, less than 50 years old, average quality. Mark probably decorative not a signature. Turkish pipes, if signed, are generally signed using the Latin alphabet. I have similar pipes in my collection, signed and unsigned.
BTW, stem is on backwards. Mark is carved, not stamped.
Thank you! That's a lot to go on :)
