    Where did you get it?

    Looks like the H might be hand-done after the fact?

    What color is it? Looks kinda black, but also looks like that might just be the photo.

    I'll just keep asking questions because I don't have any answers.

    I got it second hand in Europe! Color is black! The "H" logo doesn't seem to be handmade

    No doubt about it - it's a Henze pick.

    Can you tell what it's made of? It may just be a visual trick of the photo, but it almost looks like it has a grain pattern to it, like lignum vitae.

    It looks like a wood pick. The "H" might mean Heavy.

    It's not a wood pick! The "H" looks more like a logo

    Looks like it has some grain like horn might. Have you tried a logo search?
    The "H" looks engraved,not stamped, at least to me, and there's some "shoulder" on the back edge.

    That's my pick! H is for Hank. Where'd you find it and how did it get there?

    It's a Helios Artis pick, have a look here (sorry it's in german, Googletranslate should give you a good laugh). I don't know who they are, and they no longer seem to have your pick in their product range, nut the logo is the same. Before I started making my own, I used their galalith (Milchstein) picks, which I liked a lot.
