I did not know Moser rode a Ciocc! So the globe decal, even an early one like my frame had, cannot have been made prior to about September 1978. I wonder if there was a "missing link" globe that only listed the San Cristobal Gold win before the Nurburg Silver. If so I have not seen one.
Same here, I have only seen the globe decal with both 1st SC and 2nd Nurrenberg. I think yours would be late 1978 to 1979 as I believe Pelizzoli change the normal C to a C with a tail just before he sold it in the early '80s.
I am also starting to think that my frame will be earliest, late 1978 because of the portecatena on the dropout (despite having no MSC or globe decals, that is still a mystery) and again due to the lettering, maybe not later than 1979.
Pelizzoli may have a few iteration during that time.
