Don Roberto pipes show up on the Estate market, but there is very little information about this Italian pipe brand. Two models represented are LANCELOT, which are smooth, and FUMED, which are rusticated.
Keith Carr obtained a Don Roberto Lancelot with shape number 9488, which corresponds with GBD's shape #9488 (a square shanked pot). This would indicate Don Roberto is a GBD second or sub-brand made in Italy.
