MCM was a luxury department store in France last century. This pipe would have been sold in that store, possibly commissioned from Chacom. Everything about it screams luxury, from the choice of wood, to the exquisite design, and the gold details. This pipe is unsmoked and new old stock, however there is a tiny mark on the side of the upper mouthpiece , barely noticeable and could be left alone or given a small sanding at 2000 grit. Personally I would leave it. Pipe comes with the original box, as well as a matching tamper/pick pip tool.
