That is a neat bike.
I was excited when he first discovered it.. It also was the infamous April Fools joke bike that no one seemed to notice about the time that Masi Cali #1 was being discussed (I notice there are no pics of it in it's April Fools build up!)
Anyway, Chuck, don't you think he means the faint Reynolds tubing stamping circumferentially up towards the butted end that old Reynolds tubes had? What say you, Sashae?

Sasha writes, "Now this is a find. Late 1950s/early 1960s Pogliaghi Italcorse Pista, built from Reynolds 531. Down tube is stamped with REYNOLDS TUBING, head tube with POGLIAGHI ITALCORSE, seat tube with RAP in a half circle, seat lug with serial #6844. I have never seen (nor been able to find) details of a Pogliaghi similar to this one -- this is an extremely early bike, the Reynolds 531 decal is of the type used in the first half century of Reynolds' operation. Pretty amazing."
I've seen some Galmozzi with the stuff stamped into the head tube like this Pogliaghi, but never the REYNOLDS TUBING thing on the downtube before. Interesting...
