Thanks for this answer. I feel better about it now. I like my one (for the moment) BC too.Honestly, it's likely the stamping was buffed off over time or just not clearly photographed. That happens quite often. It's also a distant possibility that stems were switched between pipes.
The other side is that it is unlikely that someone would intentionally try to fake a BC. There just isn't enough potential for profit to fake a pipe of such a low cost (notice I didn't say quality, I like my BC pipes).
Happy to help. One other place to look is Etsy as there are a couple sellers who have some classic French pipes like BC for great prices. Many of them are unsmoked for estate prices too.Thanks for this answer. I feel better about it now. I like my one (for the moment) BC too.
Sorry, Butz-ChoquinI give, what is a "BC"?
