Help with an old Bianchi Sport

[eltamt]

Hey..how's everyone doing? I found this old bike in a garage and sure would appreciate any help/info. that anyone knows. Been doing alot of research, but can't seem to get the year or anything on it. Serial # is 433427. Late 40's/early 50's? Handles look like a marble bakelite, but in doing the test for bakelite, I got nothing. They have the initials G.F. on them. The chain is marked Regina G.S. I know it is Italian and am trying to restore it. Have a chain guard decal on the way from Italy. Any ideas? Thanks alot. E.T.

That Campy derailer ought to give you some idea of age. I'm guessing more late '50's to early '60's. Not going to be earlier then '51.

Here's a good link with some pictures to compare.
