There were also at least three different 'signatures' for the seatstay caps: yours, block lettering and a later 'Guerciotti' that looked exactly like the Paolo Guerciotti signature decal. I'd heard of the earlier, third version but never saw it until seeing your pics today. Looks exactly like the pantographing on the Guerciotti stems.

I had a tiny (48cm) Guerciotti that was right around 1979 and it had short, Portacatena-tapped Campy dropouts, fatter star cutouts and the star and 'G' in the fully-sloping fork crown. It also had the block lettering style on the seatstay caps, a similar star cutout in the BB shell and different, more tube-like cable guides brazed on the bottom.

Yours has all the hallmarks of mid-70s vice early 80s. And I gotta tell you this: that's the best looking Guerciotti I have ever seen, bar none! You should do a big-picture post dedicated to that lovely rig (right Gomango?).

Please?
