Can anyone identify this headbadge please

Could anyone identify this headbadge - I have been told it's an old style Fausto Coppi : regards Gavin

I guess it must be since the image is certainly Coppi.

I can't tell you what sort of bike it's from - top riders' names have gone on top-end bikes and stuff a Corgi installer would condemn but that looks to have been copied from this autographed pic

Here's an earlier thread

Coppi was instantly recognisable from the picture but the signature? I can't see any common letters at all.

[Brucey]

Coppi didn't sign quite the same every time but one variant was 'Coppi Fausto' as here



which looks like the one on the head badge.

FWIW most bikes I have seen with 'coppi' branding have been terrible; enough I would think to have the man himself turn in his grave.
