All valid points, but one gathers the data where on can, and catalogs are certainly useful. I can say I have a Raleigh International with a square Reynolds Tube Co. decal as pictured in the 1975 and 1976 catalogs, although this decal is not pictured in the 1974 catalog, and the serial # makes this a 1974 frame.

Among considerations are: the advance nature of catalogues; colour corrections; artistic lisence; availability and type of props; colour fade; colour correction for printed catalogue visual appeal; flat-out errors. I suppose others could add to this list of caveats.
