Looks like a heart cutout to me, but shouldn't a Colnago have a club cutout? Can some Colnago expert here enlighten me please?

Could be DeRosa built Colnago, if early 70’s?

Definitely doesn't look like a Colnago Super, but it does look exactly like a Gazelle..

Grossly overpriced. It’s a starting point for an enthusiast restoration expert, not the finish line. And it doesn’t look like a Colnago.

I'll pile on too--probably not a Colnago--I believe that heart shaped cutout was a stock Bocama lug, used by a lot of builders...

Also seat stays don't look right, Colnago pretty much always only had two cable guides on TT, and the seller did not include a shot of the underside of the BB (with a club cutout if genuine).
