Who made my frame?

I bought a frame and fork a few years ago, and put it in work on later pile in the back of the shop. It has now surfaced and I am trying to figure out what it is and If I can identify the maker. Markings indicate Paris- Sport with a single letter F on the headbadge. I'm hoping someone here will recognize this model and possibly the maker as it has some interesting characteristics. here are the pics:
It is a cute small frame, 44cm center to center, with a really nice pink paint.   Probably like the few Tomasso's we sold in the early 80's.

Only markings are the down tube decals, and nothing special on the BB, just like an outline of a stick man. no serial number that I can easily see.

I'm not recognizing this headbadge.  Single foil circle with the F and the USA chevron.

A closer look at the color and the fact that the bridge has not been drilled.

Nothing special rear drop outs almost like they were stamped.  Front are not marked in any way.
