Oh, Tipo Thompson? Since it is machined under the crown of the top nut, are you saying this is a Thompson sub-machined one ?

I have on on the Villa. Attractive looking h.s.

Corsa Decagonale'' Tipo Thompson. The only difference I can see it that your top nut has serrations in the recess. A minor difference perhaps not picked up by the industrial artist who did the original drawing. Hope this helps. Mark Stevens, Evanton, Scotland
