What is this Savinelli Model ?

[didimauw]

I'm still here, trying to learn. But the stamping and stem logo in the OP are bothering me.

I purchased it from a man, he told me that he purchased it from Spain , this is all I know about it.
I live in Jordan in the Middle East.

The stamping and logo look legit according to Pipephil.
Savinelli has more lines and models than any other manufacturer.

I didn't see it, but I may not have checked properly, it seems strange to me that a pipe has the store's logo. Savinelli has been manufacturing pipes since 1948, not since 1876, that logo is on the tobacco and accessories.

I doubt someone spent the money to have dies made to stamp this pipe. It’s probably a legit Savinelli—the stamp with the date is unusual to see (and very cool!)

The shop opened in 1876 and is considered the founding date of the company, so I don’t think it’s out of place to have such a stamp—it’s just not often seen on pipes (which is why it’s cool).

While pipes with the family name stamped on the stummel probably didn’t appear until the late ’40s, the shop sold pipes from early on with Savinelli cases (I have at least one or two that are pre-WW II, maybe even turn of the 20th Century).

I am not claiming that it is false. If not, it raises a lot of doubts in me. As to whether it is worth it or not, until the end of the 20th century, Norma de Mexico, a Mexican company dedicated to the distribution of articles for smokers, regularly manufactured its own Savinelli. If it was profitable to do it 20 years ago, with a local sale and using heather, I imagine that for a Chinese manufacturer, who does not use heather and can sell to the whole world, it should be even better.

It is an oddity, to be sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the “Savinelli 1876” stamp on a shank before. I’ve also never seen an outlined “S” in a shield on a stamp for the stem or wood. But, those are the reasons this pipe appeals to me—because I haven’t seen them before. Just because I haven’t seen something before doesn’t mean it’s fake, just that I personally haven’t seen it. Maybe it is fake, or licensed to another country or a tobacco shop. But, I’m also the kind of collector that hunted down as many of the Taiwanese bootlegs that were made in the early 1970s of books by the mystery writer, Ross Macdonald.

I noticed something strange in the stem of this pipe , well I am not an expert of pipes but I have never seen this thing in a pipe: there are 4 holes in the end of the stem under the filter's place, they are really so small that make it difficult to clean the stem, nothing can pass through these 4 holes to clean the stem, which is strange.

E-mail the pics to Savinelli's customer service and ask them if they know when the pipe was made. My guess is it was made for 1976

Did it yesterday

I've got a nice Bulldog by Savinelli with an A S stamped into the stem. I suppose it stands for Achille Savinelli.

Purtroppo, i master artigiani mi confermano che non è una vera pipa Savinelli.
