It's hard to say what it is since it is sans additional markings. It may be a basket pipe or a house brand from any number of shops. Someone more knowledgeable than I may be able to tell you more.
As for the color, pipes can be stained (dyed a lot of times) just about any color. It could actually be a very dark red that's just a little dirty. Cleaning it up may reveal it's true color, but it's true color may also just be black. It's fairly common for rusticated pipes to be black or very dark red.
It's a beaut. Enjoy it.
