Judging from the bar tape one can tell it's been ridden. Otherwise looks NOS! Nice score.

no paint. it is copper plated, a chemical process by galvanic baths or so.

Thank you everybody, the story behind the discovery is very simple: i posted an ad on one of most popular second hand sites in italy and one only guy answered. But he was the right one, a very honest one and he lived 20 miles from me. Just perfect.
The bike according to the campagnolo patent and pedals other codes is dated 1979, complete super record group. Never sold before passing to me. What could i ask for more?

I would ask for nothing else when one has the good fortune to find that beauty.

A very pretty bike, for sure.

I figured it must be Cromovelato, transparent paint over chrome. Whatever it is, sure is pretty.

it's the same bike but cromovelato is uncorrect definition. they are two different process. cromovelato i guess is a double bath, first in chrome, then a second to colour the crome with a second layer. coppering is just plating.

On the bright side, better that you crashed on another bike instead of this gorgeous Wilier!
