...me "memory" may be long but certainly not so accurate in this case...

...resemblance not that close...

so many Italian bicycle crests feature eagle devices

suspect a good proportion are not especially original, taking instead from stock sources...

all best wishes to "the barns" Don Lon!

thanks very much for the new detail pictures; the one of the emblem under the head of the stem expander bolt was one i was really waiting for

cycle appears it could not be more 100% original
love all the little details of the M monogramed bits

was incorrect on the headset - obviously an item from the merry-go-round folk

appears seat binder collar may be from them as well as it looks like it may be forged rather than stamped; doth it proclaim "MONDIAL" on the front side?

wear across centre of headplate likely due to rubbing from a basket erstwhile carried

would expect the false acorns on the wedgebolts to have the blue inserts with the M monogram as well

you shall enjoy no end of delight in disassembling this and cleaning the bits
