Clearly has a new paint job but to me looks more like a serotta or something in those lines. Nicely finished tho....

Mine had "Masi" on the seat stay caps, fork crown and bottom bracket. You can barely see it in the picture. Also mine had external brake cables. The dropouts were Columbus and the Columbus tubing decal had the word Masi on it, probably to indicate it was specially made for Masi.
If I remember correctly the Gran Corsa was a mid-range frame and made in Italy only at a time when Masi had builders in the USA and Italy. So maybe the Italian Gran Corsa were contracted out to different contractors which might explain the differing lugwork.
