As Nelson Miller pointed out, the DT decals should say Bianchi Specialissima, not just Bianchi, so when viewed from the top, the two Bianchis don't line up with each other. See: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/CoolBikes/Bianchi/EbaySpecialissima/DT-HT.jpg and http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/CoolBikes/Bianchi/MySpecialissima/DT_decal.jpg

David Bilenky wondered about the "Made in Italy" decal - here's a photo of a Specialissima (Duane Kennard's) of that era with that decal: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/CoolBikes/Bianchi/DuaneKSpecialissima/b4.jpg

I too would expect a brass head badge for that year, but can't swear that every one had it. Maybe Team issue bikes didn't?
