Bob,
Yes there is a Falck decal on the downtube of the Legnano Roma circa 1960.
The decal reads EXTRA LEGGERI [from 7-10 on a watch dial] FALCK [from 11-1 on a watch dial] SENZA SALDATURA TUBI [from 2-6 on a watch dial]
Harvey your description of the Falck symbol is spot on and it is centered on the decal with the above information on the outer edge of the decal.

(1) First, the only bike I knew for sure was Falck was a fine beast. Seamless, and with a Falck symbol on the tube set (upper end of down tube). It was, if I recall correctly, an oval like Columbus, with a sort of outline/hollow T emblem that actually looked more like a 3-lobed Roots blower impeller (if you follow that trivia!).

I too have seen this decal you are referring to, but interestingly enough on two very different beasts (1) a Mid-60s OLMO and (2) an early 80s ICS, which i believe is Swiss made.
Hey Nick, wasn't that a Falck decal on the Legnano you brought to Cirque? I didn't notice it when we were moving the bikes around but I think it was Charles Andrews or Alan Bernstein who pointed it out to me later.
