Chuck,
Just for information; the Faliero signature on the top tube appeared LONG after Faliero stopped making frames, it first appears in about 1969/70. If one adhears to that concept the signature would only be on Masis built from the late 40's and thru the 50's which obviously isn't the case. Ironically, the Faliero signature never made it onto a Faliero made frame!
