Then what are the characters *after* the word ITALY?

I'm a jeweller and I make eyeglasses, and the owner of a broken Safilo
frame has commissioned me to make a gold frame based on it. I'll mimic
the general shape but make a stronger hinge and perhaps a stronger
bridge. I want to know what those letters mean, and what model it is,
just to complete the picture.

Thanks

don't remember the model, it was thirty years ago and I was a student.
There is no model # in your photo, just the word Italy.

Why do you want it?

Who cares? It is ugly, dag city plus. It would be 30-40 years old and well out of production. New Zealand is pretty backwards, but this is ridiculous. dr grant
