Orlik Golden contrast?

[HoratioG]

Hi folks, I just needed a bit of confirmation on what I think is an Orlik. It doesn't have any other logo or marks apart from the ring mark shown on the stem and a model number saying GC90. Any help would be great.

Thank you, I found this one wedged at the back of an old pipe cabinet I bought. Looked unsmoked as well. It's a beauty of a pipe and a fantastic smoke.

Well, Congrats, Generally speaking,Orliks are great smokers,I have two of those and a number of older BBB's
in this condition,if it was at retailer ,it'll cost you around $100

Yeah bro that’s an Orlik. I’d say pre cadogan too (I.e before the1980s). What I find most interesting is that I think this is the first time I’ve seen an Orlik with a chamber coating in it.

Thank you, think I've just found the model number in an old Orlik catalogue.

From this Golden Contrast SmokingPipes ad, the shape stamp and logo look like Orlik.
