    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    I think you are 100% correct unless you’re dealing with a company that kept immaculate records (not too many of those). During my quest for information I had one persons from Savinelli tell me the pipes stamped Gold (not PO), were just PO Gold without the PO stamp. Another person at Savinelli...

    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    I certainly don't know enough to argue the validity of what Savinelli told me in that email, but it's always interesting to find when companies don't fully know the history of their own lines. I can say when I purchased my Gold from SP, they said the batch of them (I think they had about 50-100...

    Here are a few more so you can see the grain and factory stampings. I can really see in these pics that my stem needs a good buffing!!

    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    That’s a gorgeous example of a Savinelli Gold! I bought a 114KS Gold a few years ago that was listed as a Punto Oro Gold (it’s not technically a Punto Oro, Golds are their own series). It was new (legacy stock from the 1970s to 90s). I was curious so I corresponded with Savinelli. They were a...

    Help identify this BBB Own Make!

    I have a matching set of 3 BBB Own Make pipes of different shapes - same grain/semi-rusticated. I’ve never seen any BBB pipes like these before so I’m questioning their legitimacy. I’ve had them for about 15 years and they’ve just been stored away. Anyone familiar with this type of BBB?

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Wow…nice. That’s a good price if you’re the seller! I’ve got a few Kaywoodies from the 30s and 40s that are unsmoked…I’ll be looking for a new home for them soon.

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    I looked at that thread when researching my pipe. Your Savinelli Gold is gorgeous. Mine has the same stamps in the briar and similar blast/grain. I wonder if it was just never adorned with the gold bands since it sat in the Savinelli factory warehouse from its creation until it was recently...

    My brand new (old stock) Savinelli Gold 2 Dot. Received from my beautiful wife for my 50th birthday last month. First bowl is glowing now!

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    I’m sitting in the heat and humidity on the back porch enjoying the first ever smoke in this NOS Savinelli Gold 2 Dot. Boswell’s No Bite DeLite is treating me right!!

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Thanks for the info, but I can assure you the one I just received from smoking pipes is just a Gold and not a Punto Oro Gold. It is stamped Savinelli Gold. I included 4 pics above including one of the stamps and another of the two dots. This was from Smoking Pipes Europe. They still have one or...

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Ok. Smokingpipes is advertising them as Punto Oro Gold but it appears they are Gold. What’s the difference? Which is better quality?

    Savinelli Gold vs Punto Oro

    Great information, thank you! This was one of the legacy stock pipes recently advertised by one of the larger online pipe outlets (I believe owned by the same company that owns some major pipe manufacturers). It’s a great looking pile that looks very similar to a Dunhill ring grain in my...
