It was take the wife to the local Antique/Craft Street Fair today. I found a Royal Sovereign 188 for $10. If I remember correctly its an Orlik second. It is stamped Made in England and it does have a partially visible White Crown on the stem. It's actually in fairly good shape and may have been cleaned before finding its way to the antique shop. I can barely smell anything when I sniff the bowl and their is minimal cake.
I will start the clean process later this weekend and will post a photo later.
So did I just waste $10.

I've had one before. It was a well made pipe, much like an Orlik, but the briar had some putty fills. Others I've seen for sale also had imperfections in the briar, but so what?
