Ok troops here is the quintessential give away between an Italian and a "Cali" 3V. Just look at the seat cap. If it says "Masi Brev. in small print w/ colored "H" cut out it is Italian and it will be signed by Alberto. If it says Masi in block letter as in mine on wooljersey (See the link) it is from So Cal. And it will be signed by Falerio. And just you know that is the original paint on my frame and I am the original owner. And I also own an Italian one which is in the attic hiding from my better half
