In the 1970s one of the LBS in Albuquerque, NM was affiliated with the Turin group which was a national buying cooperative based out of Chicago??? As I understood it at the time, Turin was promoting Eisentraut frames and their affiliates supposedly had an exclusive on them.

The shop kept a few Eisentraut Limited frames in stock plus at least one of the top of the line models. I remember the Limited frames with both long point Prugnat lugs and short point non-fancy Nervex lugs with small cutouts. They may have even had one or two frames with fancy Nervex lugs.

But to answer your question, here's a link to pictures of an Eisentraut Limited Touring frame with fancy Nervex lugs and fender eyes on the dropouts.
