Well. I just purchased my first pipe today. It’s a Savinelli. The stamping on the bottom has the word Savinelli, the Savinelli logo, the word Tevere, and 114. I think there is something after the number, but, I can’t make it out.

Very nice pipe.
114 KS = the shape number (it’s a lovat)
KS = King Size
Tevere = the style series or line.
Excuse me if I’m being impolite in describing the nomenclature (stampings) but it seems you do not know yet what it means.

That’s alright. Thank you for your insight. I am new to this.
I’m now thinking of getting a La Rocca.can't wait to see the picture of the second pipe
I love me a Savinelli. My 105 shape is probably one of my best pipes. Great smokers.
Many happy smokes mate

It’s a great looking pipe! Savinelli makes a great smoking pipe!
Here you go. Pipes 2 and 3. These two are cheaper estate pipes. They have some defects, but, I like them anyway. One is a Kaywoodie.can't wait to see the picture of the second pipe
Looks like you found yourself a very nice first pipe. I have 4 Savinelli's in my collection currently. I've owned others over the years, but have sold several off. All of them are/were great smoking pipes. I'm of the opinion you can't go wrong with a Savinelli. Enjoy your pipe.
I have a great appreciation for Italian pipes, but my tastes have always veered toward Ascorti, Radice, Castello, Capitello, Caminetto. I’d been turned off to Savinelli due to the first Sav pipe I bought being unusually heavy for its size and tasting, literally, green, as if the briar hadn’t been cured properly. It never smoked well.
But Savs may be the most popular Italian pipe out there; clearly they’re doing something right! So I decided to give the brand another chance. I’m glad I did. While Savs will never compete with the other Italians in my racks—my brand tastes were set a long time ago!—I’ve had nothing but great smokes from my current Savinelli.
And, yes, the OP has found a very nice-looking pipe!

You want to know what smoking a good pipe is like? Buy a Savinelli. Unfortunately now you have to compare it to everything else you buy, with a huge possibility of being disappointed in anything else!
Good choice!

And the other looks to be a Grabow. Nice pipes, both, and you're off to a great start!
