I also can confirm that these are Berg-Union spokes. I will take a picture of a set in the original packaging and post it as soon as possible. (Give me a week or so) Quite common around here

A few days ago a Colnago Junior was outed to the list (eBay item # 270149110442). I noticed that the spokes had what looks like the Colnago Ace of Clubs (Asso di Fiori), stamped on the spoke heads:

I've never seen spokes like these before and I'm wondering if they are in fact Colnago branded spokes, or if the stamp is a 4 leaf clover (it's hard to tell), representing some other brand. Does anyone know?
