I am trying to get my feet wet with looking at Catlinite Pipes. Many have been marketed lately from dealers and some major auction houses. Many brought large sums of money - I was not content with what I saw or provenance in most - some were - in my totally novice opinion - good. These brought 5K and up. This is a dealer example - to me the file marks being stated as a bonus indicate more of a forgery. Am I correct in thinking that a true quality mid 1800's pipe would have those buffed out? The condition and color also lend me to think much more modern.
