Hi Warren,

Sounds like you got a nice score.

I have a dura-ace catalog dated 1973.

Also,there is a date code for shimano, two letters which I think started in 1976. would go as follows:

YEAR MONTH A 1976 A JAN B 1977 B FEB C 1978 C MAR D 1979 D APR E 1980 E MAY F 1981 F JUN G 1982 G JUL H 1983 H AUG I 1984 I SEP J 1985 J OCT K 1986 K NOV L 1987 L DEC M 1988 N 1989 O 1990 P 1991 Q 1992 R 1993 S 1994 T 1995 U 1996 V 1997 W 1998 X 1999 Y 2000 Z 2001 A 2002 B 2003
