Regarding the Galmozzi,

Is there certainty that the cable routing and bottle braze-ons are not original? Such features were certainly common, although not in Italy, at the time. And the internal cable routing does not look like something a contemporary builder would add.

My only curiosity was the crown, as I'm not familiar with early semi-slopping crowns, but my sense was it is correct, and I did see a similar (if not the same) crown this past week and my understanding was that it was indeed an old example.

Galmozzi frames seem to be quite gorgeous - and after missing out on one at the Cirque and looking at it, there is no mystery as to why they should be valuable.
