looks like a masi fork? for a 61cm frame? Guessing it was made in July 1973. Have you measured the drop-out spacing. The right leg (rider's right not viewers) looks bent out on the photo, but that could be the photo.
Lastly, this would fit a frame I have perfectly if you were interested in selling or trading, even if it is bent, I will have it straightened.

just did a quick search and there appears to be quite some variation over the years. This is a 74 GC fork... looks almost the same, except the cut-out treatment on the tangs.
Here is a '72. also with circular cut-outs... interesting
Another '74 with circles
Maybe I am wrong?

cyclotoine, I think you areprobably right. The paint color on my fork match the Masi GC from your pictures. check this one:

The cut out from this fork match mine. So I guess it is from a Masi GC.
