From the beginning of its activity and until, surely, the end of Twenties, the most part of Rossi pipes was just marked with "REAL BRIAR", "VERA RADICA" or "BRUYERE GARANTIE" (or something similar): this can easily be explained by the enormous amount of pipes daily producted, which requires the fastest solution. | [[Image:20160712 111605.jpg|thumb|right|"Rossi" on the stem and on the left side of the shank, into an oval; "106" on the right side of the shank, and "Italy" on the bottom (datable approx. at the end of Seventies)]]From the beginning of its activity and until, surely, the end of Twenties, the most part of Rossi pipes was just marked with "REAL BRIAR", "VERA RADICA" or "BRUYERE GARANTIE" (or something similar): this can easily be explained by the enormous amount of pipes daily producted, which requires the fastest solution. | ||
From, approximatively, Thirties, until Fifties, Rossi pipes were marked with "FRB" (Fratelli Rossi Barasso) or "MFRB" (Manifattura Fratelli Rossi Barasso), into an oval and above "OLD BRIAR" (or similar - sometimes, there was also "MFD. BY ROSSI", as "Manufactured by Rossi"); on the stem, there was generally the "R" letter in circle. However, in Sixties "FRB OLD BRIAR" was mantained for the "traditional pipes" (for cheap models - see below). | From, approximatively, Thirties, until Fifties, Rossi pipes were marked with "FRB" (Fratelli Rossi Barasso) or "MFRB" (Manifattura Fratelli Rossi Barasso), into an oval and above "OLD BRIAR" (or similar - sometimes, there was also "MFD.
