I cant imagine anyone would want to fake a Savinelli , but stranger shit has happened for sure , so apparently someone went through the trouble of faking them
I’m thinking about counterfeiting Dr Grabow pipes.

Do any major pipe manufacturers~brands mark pipes with engraving rather than stamping?
I ask because the Savinelli logo on this pipe has an almost perforated look, like it was engraved.
