Morning All,

I'm trying to ID a pair of Campagnolo calipers I have had for a number of years (thought they were Grand Sport) which I pulled out of the crate last night:

They are nutted and as you look at them, Campagnolo is on the right arm with gradually increasing size of the letters (all caps). The right arm has BREV.INT. The quick release lever is the "measuring spoon" type but is not flimsy as some I have seen. The outside of the QR lever has <c> (enclosed), and the outside plate (cam) of the QR mechanism has BREV CAMP. The adjuster rubber is black and the plate (adjusting nut) for the rubber has BREV CAMPAGNOLO. The top of the brake center bolt has PATENT on it. The brakes have the block guides (BREV CAMPAGNOLO)

I have a pair of '69-'70 NR calipers which are similar but have the flat QR lever. The pictures and catalogs I have all show "lower level" calipers having the cupped QR, but these calipers appear to be every bit the quality of the NR's I have. The thing that's confusing me is the QR lever(s).

Could these be SR's?

Thanks for your collective input..............
