Pinarello engravings on the top of the seatstays & probably cutout underneath the bottom bracket. Campagnolo or Pinarello dropouts.
Hard to tell from that picture, but that doesn't look like any Pinarello I've seen. Decals and geometry look wrong. The fork is almost definitely not.

Mine, and every other older Pini I have seen, has this engraving on the lower head lug, looks like a cross. It's also present under the seat stay bracket on my bike.

Check between the seat stays just behind the bottom bracket, no bridge is a montello trait. The top of the seat stays should have a pg on them...i think. Internal cable routing on the top tube for montello, and my bb shell says pinarello stamped into it

Aside from the obvious PINARELLO under the BB, GPT engraved on seatstays / fork crown / other places.

Just came back and I passed on the bike. I could tell it was a fake as soon as I saw the lower end lug work and dropouts :!
