Can anyone help me find info on this french-made pipe?

Picked this wooden pipe up from the antiques shop today. No markings other than "Made in France" stamped on the bottom of the bowl. Does anyone know the age of a pipe like this? Just curious.

Ropp was a successful producer of cherrywood pipes in St Claude, FR. I think there may have been copy cats.

Totally agree with newbroom probably a knock off of a Ropp Pipe.
