Hi, C-R members,

Speaking of Pivo stem, what I have is casted alloy, somewhat rough finish, from late 60's to 70's. It is much better construction than AVA death stem.

I also have "MILREMO" engraved stems which are so similar to Pivo I have. Except the names, over all coat and design are very close.

Did Pivo make stem for Milremo label?

Thanks for advance
