As suggested in the tobaccquisitions thread here are so pictures of my new to me Meer. Tried to get shots of the distinguishing features.

The stem is threaded and there is a slight gap between the threads and the stem, not sure if that's on purpose or not. Stem fits correctly.

Well it's not Turkish, I can tell you that much.

It could be Kiko, Jambo, Isles of Mann or even another one of those short lived african meer lines. It's a cool looking pipe though.

I think it's one of the African-made African meerschaum brands. The Tanganyika pipe company had lots of subbrands--Amboseli, countryman, townsman, Safari, and then there's Kiko and Jambo. I'm sure there are many more. The Jambos I've seen are usually marked Jambo, so my guess is Kiko, since A few of the other brands carry an elephant imprint on the stem, and yours doesn't have it.

I don't think it's one of the English-made African meerschaum pipes brands, though, because those are usually marked Great Britain.
