Savinelli conundrum!

[wnclee1]

Hello. Hope all are well... I have a general OCD-Driven question about the Savinelli Roma series pipes. Is the only difference between the regular Roma & the Roma Lucite, the stem? Does the regular Roma black-stemmed pipe have a red stained rim around the bowl vs. the Roma Lucite line? Does the Lucite series have the same colored bowl rim as the regular Roma line? Hope I'm not confusing you, but I sure am confusing me! Thanks for your sage answers & comments. Best, LeRoy

Welcome to the forums! I don't know anything about the Romas, but I'm sure someone here will.

I think these folks can answer your question. Drop them an email.

Welcome! I believe that the regular Roma and the Roma Lucite have the same briar finish, including the red stained smooth rim. The Roma Lucite looks to have a slightly wider brass trim ring, and comes with colored lucite stems rather than black vulcanite like the Roma.

Clear as mud now? Look at the inventory at one of the sponsors listed in red in the column at the left, such as SmokingPipes.com.

I own a pipe from the Roma line, and it does indeed have a reddish stain on the rim. I do not own a Roma Lucite.

The Roma line has some great looking pipes. I believe both lines have the two tone finish.

Orley has it right on the money. Same finish, same stain. Wider band and lucite stem instead of vulcanite.
Here are two 602 model pipes on smokingpipes.com. The first is the roma lucite and the second is the roma:
