I wonder if that is a French thing, or if it was just that era.
There was a Jo Routens and a Rene Herse that a fellow displayed at the 2018 Classic Rendezvous gathering. Beautiful bikes!! The fork looks much like what you show. Quite lovely, and I don't know if I can say whether it is more or less attractive than the Masi.
