I recently found an old and very beat-up Frejus frame for sale on the local Craigslist and picked it up as a winter project. It's had its top tube replaced and really needs a paint-job. Looks like it's been painted a few different colors. I very carefuly scraped the paint off the logo, and it looks different than most frejuses (frejii?) I've seen. Is this one of the later ones with a later logo? Any ideas where I can pick up a replacement decal for this project?
Thanks!http://www.frankrause.com/web/frejus.jpg

Here's a pic from the wooljersey site of one with similar decal and titled as a 1971:

I guess I'd try Greg Softley for decal replacements, and then there's a guy in Italy who seems to have many NOS Italian decal sets on eBay...you'll have to search for him, I can't retrieve his handle right now. JRrestore could make you up new ones, but artwork would be needed.

It doesn't look too different to me, but what do I know. There should be a serial number on the seat tube. Compare it to these:
