Identify Fork Sticker
Ok this could be bordering on the ridiculous...there is a small remnant of a sticker on a fork and I'm wondering if anyone can identify it.
Bonus points to anyone who can make a positive identification!

Forcella. Of course. Thanks.
Someone is another thread suggested pulling the fork to check for a dove. There is no such thing. Does that mean that the sticker was dishonest perhaps? Or is there not always necessarily a dove on Columbus forks?

Look inside the steerer from the bottom for rifling

If the fork steerer tube is Columbus it may - or may not - have the dove engraved on it. Also, even if the builder used Columbus fork blades, there's no assurance the steerer tube was Columbus.
