John, My trusty orange 1973 Silca pump does have a Columbus decal near the base of the pump. No big deal, it was the local brand of "pipe" over there,,, My pal John Drake of Bike Works in Sylvania Ohio sent me a Hirame pump head for my Silca, and as Mark Petry kind of said, doesn't get any smoother than that, a real pleasure, thanks again John.
