Just recently what purports to be Merckx De Rosa bike has been listed on English Ebay - item number 160359704131 Its obviously rather late to be a Molteni Merckx De Rosa - the dropouts are Campy Portacatena though they do appear to be finished in the De Rosa style. However the lugs - in particular the head lugs don't look De Rosa to me... I'd be interested to hear what other CR members who have seen many more De Rosas than I have think...
