Campagnolo Timeline at http://www.velo-retro.com entry: "1983 -- February 3rd. Tullio Campagnolo dies. 50th Anniversary group is released. Gruppo Number 0002 is presented to the Pope, John Paul II in a private audience for a delegation of Italian cycling enthusiasts on June 15. Introduction of Super Record brake calipers with triangular cross section (as perAnniversary caliper), Campagnolo script logo, and conical-shaped nuts for center bolt lock nut and cam lock nut."

There was a diamond shaped 50th Anni. frame sticker that was included with the group. And there was an after market stem available at the time, a Cinelli 1R (hidden clamp) that was pantographed with the 50th Anni. logo on each side and a series of repeating chevrons on the top.
