The opposite side holds a clear shape code "811 KS" and the "ITALY" with the distinct Savinelli S crest shield origin pedigree stamp.Condition: Excellent vintage estate condition. The briar stummel possesses a beautiful natural luster with zero fills or pits. The bowl rim is sharp, level, and free of heavy charring.

Shipped securely packaged via USPS. Additional Collector notes: The "KS" Designation: The "KS" suffix stands for King Size, a larger, robust version of the shape, featuring a deeply bored chamber and thick, insulating wood walls designed for a long, cool smoke.The Brass Stem Bar: If you look closely at the vulcanite stem near the shank junction, it features a flush inlaid horizontal brass bar (rather than the modern white shield logo). This brass bar logo explicitly denotes a vintage pre-1980 production piece, which holds significantly higher value than modern iterations.
