    Identify this Stacked MoMo 320 Prototipo/Monza?

    Hi,
    I'm new and came here about some old MoMo steering wheels i'm collecting.
    I found this 320 stacked momo 10 years ago, refurbished above the original leather, that came from a early fiat 600 Abarth specs.

    I have other stacked momo prototipo's, and other models off course.

    What i can not get web-information, is about this particular one:
    -the spokes seems different.
    -it has no model (prototipo or monza or even elite) specified in front - unsigned.
    -the stacked logo is less impressed.
    -this wheel is lighter. It seems the aluminium has also different touch...(i can use a scale if someone wants it).

    It may be made before the other Stacked Prototipo i show?? or it's another model?

    Best regards

    Quote "It can be one of the earliest prototipos... " -> Definetely not - the first had only a MOMO signature nothing stacked.
    The issue with a significant weight difference I've had too on a wheel that was definetely a genuine old wheel.
    It was much heavier than another similar Momo that was the same size and Model and age.
    As for the missing "Prototipo" Stamping - MOMO also made OE wheels.
    There was for example a series they built for Alpina with the alpina Logo just printed not engraved they also had the stacked Logo.
    So this could be sth. similar.

    Indeed. Definitely not an earliest type as uli said and the missing model type is something you see often on these older wheels, as the paint faded over years.
    The less engraved stacked momo on the back I would say is just a matter of heavy use over the years which would only elucidate the faded painted logo and the refurbished leather.

    This spokes look similar to mine...
    I'll use a scale later!!

    I already saw some with the momo logo less engraved. I think is not about heavy use! The "lines" of the aluminum in that area seems similar...

    No Alpina wheels were not available in 320 but it might have been another OE application that was manufactured without prototipo engraving.

    Using a scale i got (320mm steering wheels):
    - Stacked momo without engraving (vinyl over the original leather): 760gr.
    - Staked prototipo, with 7:00h mark on, original leather: 1030gr
    - M20340 prototipo, original leather as new: 900gr.

    This one without sign is felt really lighter in hands, than others 320 i had... including dated prototipos or only "Made in Italy" signed on back.
