Is it possible to find out what year a particular Savinelli Pipe was made? Is there a date code, particular stamp, lettering style, etc. that would enable you to find out the year of manufacture?

No, certain styles stay in production longer than others. About the only ones from them and most pipe companies are the POY (Pipe of the Year) from their lineup.
Dunhill is about the only factory pipe that I know of that is easily dated.

Thank you. I just joined today and am loving this forum already.
I'm glad that you're finding value in this forum. I'm still testing the waters here myself, ha ha.
I need to expand my post... you can also figure out dates for limited release pipes like Halloween pipes, Christmas pipes and such also.

Thanks. The reason I asked this question is because I found a Savinelli estate pipe at my local tobacconist that I’m thinking of purchasing. It has the number 114 on the bottom.
That happened with a few groups on Facebook. Some were dedicated to cigars, some were dedicated to other interests.Yah that will wear off
Welcome.
That would just be the number of the shape... a lovat.
Four digit shape numbers were earlier production and changed to three digit around 1970. Pipedia.org is a wealth of knowledge if your not already familiar with it.
Some Savinelli pipes can be loosely dated in a range via some stamping, logo style, model number, but none as specific as a Dunhill. Pipes with silver hallmarks can tell you about the silver’s date, but not always the pipe.
Castellos also have date codes.
In the early stages of dating any pipe, I would recommend lively conversation, a nice drink and an expensive, well aged tobacco. Maybe even light jazz in the background.
After you get to know each other, you can skip the conversation and go straight for the cheaper blends.
Never Latakia on a first date.
