[QUOTE="hagley, post: 4792, member: 57"] The N is to designate Noli, in Milan. They are one of the best known shops in Europe, and are located in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to the left of the Cathedral. The pipe was originally sold to Noli, but I suspect the pipe came from some other shop, so why don't you contact the place that you bought it and ask him to interpret the stamping, or ask him to contact Castello. Years ago Castello began stamping their pipes with a code to indicate the dealer to whom the pipe was originally sold, in order that the factory could better control the distribution of their pipes. Castello did not want shops to re-sell to unauthorized dealers, nor to sell on the gray market (ie the US). Castello is very protective of their dealers and strives to protect their brand.
