Maybe I misunderstood last time it was being discussed, but I thought the first generation Super Record brake lever debate, was in regard to proving the existence of the old style ("long") curve, that still had the circle shaped relief in the underside. Only the version with the more "U" shaped cut out was confirmed, IIRC.

There is no big deal. These are late SR and lack the "brev." stamp on the cable holder. Levers like this are common, especially without hoods. Levers with the "brev." stamp in good condition are a bit more rare. The only SR lever that is really hard to get is the first generation with the longer reach. There was a LOT of chatter about these (mostly by me) a couple of years ago. There was some assertion that they only existed as drawings on the pages of catalogs, but the consensus now is that they do exist. It's a good thing that too, because the Raleigh Team Pro with alleged Knetteman history is sporting a set.
