Fiorelli was earlier and I'm not familiar with Technocrat-build Coppi's.
Are the others, the 'by Masciaghi' all build at the same builder? I don't know but what I know is, many big brands had subcontractors who build frames for the big brand. Colnago is a well-known example. Also occurred big names were contracted for building teamframes. Some Belgian framebuilders are very clear, they build for Italian brands. I saw real Colnago-lugs from a Belgian builder. And Eddy Martens, from Belgium too, build Coppi for Fiorelli.
So, no clear answer. But how important is it? You got a real nice Coppi (by Masciaghi and who knows ..).

Just thought I'd throw this into the discussion. I saw a newer Guerciotti Record on Ebay about two years ago. The seller said he bought it new with some scratches in the paint. So, he had it powder coated and when they blasted the paint off, it turned out that it had a Coppi pantoed BB shell that was filled in with a bondo-like filler. Everything else was pantoed Guerciotti. I guess the contractor used what was available.
Prompted me to reference my Coppi. Assumed from 1968 and that still fits or before Ole Ritter's hour record was eclipsed by Eddy. There is a graphic attesting to the achievement. In that "rights" thing, no mention of Ritter, just the distance attained.
Done in Mexico. Track time courtesy of the FCI as it was just prior to the Olympics.

Cheers to all of you for participating in this encyclopedic effort about some old bicycle found in some remote corner of the world.

Good day,
Adding to this thread since have similar needs! Attached pics show NOS Fausto Coppi I recently acquired. None of the threaded bits have been cleaned or chased. Believe this to be 1990s build, 1996 or so? Whom made these during this period?
My need is this frame does not have a serial number. Did come with many pantographed parts, see pics. So were they built without serial numbers? Pics are as bought prior to clean up. Plan on resto mod built with last Gen silver Campy Athena 11 speed and silver Mavic Ksyrium wheelset.
Updates! May have found serial number, on inside of drop outs I see 1116 stamped on inside of both drops.
Further looking during clean up reveals number stamped into BB shell. Paint is so thick very hard to see or read. Appears to be 96?7
