My photograph shows the head badge in question, which was superseded in 1957 by a different design.
The head badge was also replicated on the seat tube and a possibly smaller one in the centre of the down tube between the De Rosa Ugo lettering.
Any information about this particular head badge design, including it's size, would be appreciated. Also, any information about the strange "broken" Olympic bands at each end of the lettering would be most helpful.
Thank you.
