Wrong Jim for this era.
Jim Allen of the Cyclesmiths in the San Diego County area is the guy who might recall.
The 3V was eventually made in the USA in addition to Masi Italy. Later it gets more complicated and some 3V's were made in Italy under contract but Not by Masi of the Vigorelli.
The subordinate models like the Gran Corsa and Nuova Strada were Italian contract made models. Some Gran Criteriums very late too.
