Frame brand question - who made this?

Sorry about the poor picture quality.

What's the symbol on the seat stay - it's Columbus tubing? Looks like a bike.

Rourke?
Flattened wrapover.

That looks like a map of France. Perhaps it's French?

An image in focus and other frame images would be helpful.

IT's the e and the m in the shape of a bike, confirmed. Eddy Merckx.

This is a frame that's for sale on Facebook. We had asked for better pictures and there was a long delay but no new pics. I don't think he's very good with Soshal Meejia and he's a bit elderly. I also think he's not a cyclist, seems to know very little.
We (my friend and I) were initially sceptical as it all added up to be fake but hard to ascertain with such bad photo's. My friend will see it on Wednesday and the stamping on the BB shell should confirm it. Sadly no forks. Crossing fingers it's in Columbus SLX tubing.
