I'm working from memory here, but I thought I saw newer logos on the brake calipers and straddle hangers in the large photos. They looked wrong for a late '50s, early '60s to me. I could be wrong. Were there GS headsets then and were they unengraved like the ones appear to be on this bike? I thought unengraved Campagnolo headsets were '70s vintage GS or pista.
