The top of the seat tube was indeed ovalized by the installation of the too-small seatpost. I worked on it for an hour with some smaller posts, frame blocks, and one of those tapered seatpost sizing mandrels (kind of like the ring-sizer that jewelers use) and was able to get it to the point where a 26.8 post slides in easily. A 27.0 might work but I don't yet have one to try. I don't think I'll be able to get it back to the original 27.2 but I'm pretty happy with the progress.

Interrogativo -
in this image of the bicycle's bottom bracket fittings there appears to be a small recessed area on the outer face of the adjustable bottom bracket cup at about one o'clock. it looks to have three characters inside it. are you able to make them out Brent?

Mr. Kinski, with his dobermans and shotgun, was not universally loved in this community.
Your old friend is one of the two nicest, most honest bike shop proprietors I have ever met!
I could only make out two letters "AM" which I believe is Agrati
Brent

It must be Agrati, assuming Otto used the same brand for the spindle, cranks, and BB cups. (As you may have noticed, he was a big fan of Italian components for his Austrian frames.)
