Italian Head Badge thread

-
Wish those Fiorelli photos also showed their head badge. I am still a little perplexed regarding the concave/convex differences between the Coppi and Fiorelli medallions. I thought the Coppi "caps" may have been pushed inward due to damage/storage, etc.; but no real signs that they are not intended to have that design. It may be another means of dating a bike if earlier "caps" were convex. All the Fiorelli "caps" that I have seen are similar the those posted with a convex design.
 
Lygie/Ligie; Milano (est. circa 1905) (badge example from 1969 frame; possibly marque was was originally established in St. Etienne France prior to its Italian origin by Alfredo Sironi. I have found nothing as to any French connection; but one can assume it to have started there considering the name pronunciation is of French and not Italian diction.)

I'm not able to open the second link for some reason?
 
39049 is a French postcode (zipcode), for the commune (village) of Bersaillin in the Jura region.
This is a distance from St. Etienne though.
 
It's also the postcode for several Italian cities in the Trentino area.

posted this information in the discussion thread posted above about seven year back

As I said before, I couldn't access the previous BikeForums link, and still can't.
So, is the postcode relevant?
I'm, unfortunately, still none the wiser; can you put us out of our misery @juvela ?

Cicli Rubino; (Bologna?) (est.circa 1929) (found existing bike shop "Rubino Cicli" in Bologna; but business email address is not functioning so no quick way to verify if it is the same business. Cicli Rubino facebook site has articles ("dal 1929 CICLI RUBINO" on tool bag) and bikes; but no reference as to history, and no good badge images for comparison.)
