Bike should have Balilla 61 center pull brake calipers, not MAFAC. Looks to still have the unique Balilla 61 levers though. I actually have the identical bike in slightly better condition (very slight) so it will be interesting to watch what this one goes for on eBay this time of year (between now and Christmas is the best time for selling on eBay).

These bikes really ride, shift and stop well for an early 60s bike incidently. Tour de France model refers to the Ferdi Kubler (Switzerland) '50 TdF victory.
