Greg, my '73 Masi Team Sammontana (V 55.5) is all original except for the stem and bar and came with all the pantographed stuff. This bike has the Faliero signature. The original owner said he has the original 3ttt stem with the panto'd Faliero signature somewhere but it hasn't turned up yet (bike has a Cinelli 1A in the photo).

Here's a picture from Velo Rendezvous 2002: http://www.velo-retro.com/VRendezII%20jpg/sunMasiSammo.jpg

Anyone have a 110, 115, or 120mm 3ttt "Faliero Masi" pantographed stem so I can complete my bike?
