These have no markings. I can't guarantee that the lockring is anything other thanalso Italian threaded, but it looks nice so it's staying.

It would be nice to know who made them so I can get an appropriate axle.

IIRC, Magistroni made a 3-notch bottom bracket in the 60s and 70s.

Thankyou - now I know where I got it and which axle to look at and match. Another option might be a pair of Italian cups for a cartridge BB - I have a 70mm one with 31mm bearings but no cups.
