Anyone know anything about this "SELECT" marque?

It has at least the superficial appearance of quality construction (e.g., campy drops, chrome plating, engraved/cut lugs, etc.) Interestingly, the fork has reinforcing tangs but these appear to be cast separately from the fork crown.

Looking at the Picasa photos (linked within the auction description), it appears it may be of German origin as the "world colors" bands on the seat tube have the phrase "Rundfahrtsieger Staatsmeister" printed within.
