Right you are - I didn't look close enough to see that the head-badge IS stamped
.
Thanks for all the info and no doubt will be a nice reference for future searchers as well.
Regarding the bags I appreciate your suggestion - may brush them and then tumble them on low with some damp towels.
I'll be looking into the Panaracer Pasela Tourguards. I'm tempted to convert to bar-end shifting but will make that a low priority for now. That's a clean machine you have there - nice pic!
