This was a thrift store purchase about 10 years ago. I knew nothing about Barling then and know little now. Upon research, I haven't been able to find out much about this pipe. It's a sand blasted, bent, with a brass ring, the cross logo on the stem and England stamped on the underside of the stem. No numbers. I've no doubt the pipe is old and we'll worn, and it is probably the best smoke of my collection. Is this genuine, or maybe an older facsimile? I appreciate any and all input.
