I posted because I was unable to decipher and thought that there was an off chance someone might recognise the name. Thanks again.
Marc, please try to sort out the photo issue. This group (like the CR group) are usually amazing at teasing out relevant details from good and detailed pictures, even of head decals as bad as yours. Also, we need to see that seat lug bolt. A lot of old stuff looked homemade though it was the hand of a craftsman. Early Italian racing bikes were often thought of as "tools for racing," not blingy works of visual art. It might be workmanlike, but the state of the art for the day and the locale.
We like to do this, you are not in the least an intrusion.
