The other guys got it right..... Aspen, Colorado importer..... made by Guerciotti (See the early Guerc signature "rocket" lug cut outs?)... Now my thought, wasn't this brand this marque some how connected with the Grewal shop (Dad to Alex and Ranji)? Either they were part of the deal or the early distributor or sales rep (probably die to proximity?)
