**About This Pipe:**
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, historically significant vintage Savinelli Prima Serie Shape 144. Launched in the 1990s, the Prima Serie was a limited-run project specifically engineered to introduce three brand-new shapes to Savinelli's legendary lineup.
This particular pipe is the highly coveted "C" variant, denoting a flawlessly smooth, rich dark brown stain that highlights the beautiful grain structure of the half-bent Brandy bowl. It features a traditional vulcanite saddle stem and the signature hallmark of this series: a tiny, sterling silver shield emblem beautifully inlaid directly into the side of the briar shank.
**Provenance:**
This pipe is pristine New Old Stock (NOS) from the private display cabinet of my former tobacco shop (closed in 2008). It has never been smoked, never been filled with tobacco, and has been meticulously preserved in a climate-controlled retail environment.
**Note on Packaging:**
The original cardboard box was misplaced over the years, so the pipe does not include its original retail packaging. However, the pipe itself is in absolute flawless, showroom condition with a pristine rim, clean chamber, and zero oxidation.
A masterclass in 1990s Italian pipe design. Will be meticulously wrapped, heavily padded, and shipped securely to protect the silver inlay and finish.
Pipe weight: 1.6 ounces
