I suspect they made yours, too.
Was Lepre a member of CORICAMA? My understanding is that CORICAMA (Coltellerie Riunite Caslino Maniago) was a cooperative of knife and tool makers in Maniago and Caslino. I see that Lepre is still located in Maniago.

I've been researching CORICAMA but haven't been able to find the names of any specific makers who were members.

I don't think Coricama had members per-se.
While Coricama did manufacture cutlery, they also brokered for many makers in Maniago. I do know of one big display stiletto marked "Coricama" that was made by Lepre.
