IRIS bicycle

Hello, does anyone have any information on the IRIS bicycle, which might have been manufactured by FB in Milan, possibly around 1920's - 1930's - but that's only a presumption. I don't know if IRIS is a model which was offered for sale by FB, or whether IRIS is the actual company. FB could be Fratelli Brothers, who manufactured hubs and cranks [and possibly other items] during this period.
FB, Milano and IRIS are certainly connected in some way.

Hello, I have been told that IRIS was a bicycle manufacturer in Milan, Italy. There is no connection between this manufacturer and FB [Fratelli Brivio] of Brescia, Italy.
Fratelli Brivio definitely manufactured their own bicycles and their distinctive decals prominently displayed an eagle with outstretched wings etc. Their bicycles to my knowldge, were painted silver with red lining and black with white lining. Their [original] decals are still available.
I have no details of what IRIS bicycles were like.
