Does anyone have any information on this handlebar?

Mostly, I'm wondering when this specific 'bar was produced. However, I'm also curious to know when Ambrosio got out of the handlebar business.... and if this was one of their better models. It looks like a competitor to the standard shield logo Cinellis of the 1970's to very early 80's, but the price was an order of magnitude lower. Will this impart good low-budget NOS mojo to a 1979 restoration? 1982? 1983?
