Brand: Varsity London Made | English Estate Pipe
While there's a strong belief that this pipe brand is related to Medico Varsity, I haven't been able to find any definitive information. Medico generally manufactures its products in Italy, but this pipe is marked "Made in London." It's also known that Medico Varsity has some production lines in England.

Very good
PerfectSmoke Path (Air Hole): In the middle of the chamber bottom and opened flush with the chamber bottom, with perfect workmanship.
Shank: No soot or tar residue. Some areas are black.
Chamber Cleaning: Quite successful. The track was scraped off quite successfully. Completely smooth.
Flaws: There is a very small tooth mark on the original mouthpiece. From what I can tell from the sandblasting, there are a few pits around the chamber.
Score: 6/10
Comment: It has a very nice sandblast finish. It has been well maintained and crafted. The mouthpiece is original. The wall seems a bit thin to me; great care should be taken with the light tempo.
Note: Any pipe that hasn't created a track (cake layer) will heat up unless you use a very, very slow, systematic pace. Heat-up is not a criterion for pipes without track.
