Pipe with ornamental coat of arms, I.G. is held by National Museum of Banat. Museum description: Typical pipe form from the beginning of the 19th century, adorned with an ornamental coat of arms. In its field appear two rampant lions confronting each other, between them a beehive (?), crested by a dove, the shield crested by a closed helm bearing a crown with an issuant lion holding a sword in its paw. At the base of the pipe appears the mark WEISZ. The pipe has a silver mount and lid. The pipe lid is made of chiseled and engraved silver with floral motifs. The mount displays the following marks: S.WEISS (the company), in an oval IG (maker), in a pentagon the effigy of Diana with the numeral 4 (silver standard - .750) and the letter A (Vienna mark). The museum record gives measurements L: 11 cm; La: 11 cm; maker recorded: I.G.. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
