Hi everybody

I recently obtained a right hand 3-arm steel crank arm with slotted arms that looks like many others made by Magistroni. What is unusual is that the name Ducati is stamped in the middle of the arm in a brake in the flute. I have never seen any Ducati branded bike parts before and neither has anyone else that I have shown the arm to, including Hillary.

Like some other Italian motorbike makers no doubt Ducati made bikes in their early days but has anyone ever seen one and if so was it top end or more utilitarian?

I do not want to sell the arm but I would be interested in buying a matching 170mm left arm if anyone has one.
