for starters, the american ones would surely have the henry james-ish fork crown; the slightly drooping number that looks like it mined some details from the fisher sand cast as well as the mfi masi cast crown. e-RICHIE chester, ct ps i think it's not correct to assume it's the same bike, except for the name.

On the Italian 3V I owned it stated clearly on the decals in at least a
couple of places that it was made in Italy. How does this differ from
American Masi 3 V bikes? Do they say something like "Made in U.S.A" or
"Made in California"?
In short, I am asking how to tell the difference between an Italian one
and an American made one. Am I correct in assuming it is the same bike?
Thanks all,
