So recently, I came to buy an estate Radice (smoked only once or twice probably, enough to darken the chamber) Rind with a wonderful plateau top for the very lovely price of $78.
I also just bought a Comoy's Magnum Lumberman (It's a 309 with a replacement stem, and they replaced it with a saddle rather than a taper) I immediately got excited and bought the pipe, but I now question the age of the pipe and whether or not I just wasted my money getting a 1980+ Comoy's pipe.

Reading through, I get mixed signals on the dating of this pipe, and I wondered if any of you gents could help clarify. I know that the Magnum could potentially be 60's or a little later, or this pipe could be from the 90's as a bringing back of the Magnum series. I read that it was pre-Cadogan comoys who would use letters after their pipe shape numbers at times, which has me hopeful. But I feel like this one is newer. I hope I'm wrong though.
Any thoughts?
