do you know if it is normal to not have a cutout for lockring on the steerer?
Yes.
You will find forks with a notch, some with a chamfer and some with nothing at all.
I've found the tabbed washers to be troublesome, as the tab can get jammed in the cut-out.
Either way, I've not found any sort of locking mechanism necessary and I'm currently running a HS without a washer at all, like you.
PS The chrome and violet looks gorgeous!

will see if it works as it is now. But the idea about stripping the anodizing off the black headset is brilliant. I would have used the black headset but it turned out to be JIS with a crown face diameter of 27mm. However I can use the top part of the headset.
It would be great to have another pelizzoli fork but they gonna charge at least £150.
