the light you never see again, there, when you forget to take it off when you go into the Pub.
I had an attachment to mount my light by the mid-fork braze-on. The light went back to the handle bar after a week.

Makes sense. The lack of braze-ons such as cable guides and bottle mounts is normal for 70s and some early 80s frames. I tired to ID the dropouts because the little hole protruding into the triangle is unusual. No luck though, maybe CV and get it.

Why do you say stamped? They look like any other forged dropouts brazed into the stays. I can even make out the threaded holes for adjuster screws, usually seen on good quality bikes.
