Found out some information regarding aforementioned forks.
The Moser fork is not from a Francesco Moser frame, but is from a different Moser who was an actual builder (F. Moser ex-racer, designer; not a framebuilder himself). Ermanno Moser started in 1933, son (Flavio) took over business and company is still in existence but not family owned anymore. Still no idea as to year since this logo has been in use for decades, but with flat crown and recessed brake mount it is most likely late '70s.
The "SW" fork is from the Wolfgang Steinmayr marque established by an Austrian ex-racer. Debate about fork and frames being of Italian origin; Gino Milani was known for using "heart" cutouts in fork tabs.
The "G" fork is from a Giordano bike, late '80s-'90s..
