Re: [CR]Campy SR brake levers... yes, more...

The pair with the "World" logo hoods (Campagnolo scripted through a globe) look like 2nd generation originals. The pair with the "Shield" logo appear to be first generation with extra holes added.

I'm restoring a 1981 Jim Redcay full SR and it had the "world" logo style hoods and 2nd generation levers. If you've got a pair for sale?

For sure: The one on the left, and the pair in the second image, are the older shape, which had a longer reach.

My guess: They appear to be drilled, but are mostly likely levers that started life as Records and had all the drilling added. The holes located where the factory would have dilled them don't look like the drilled and countersunk type I'd expect. They just look like they were drilled with a straight drill bit. Just a guess. If they are the factory drilled ones, the added holes kinda ruin the originality.

As brake levers go, however, they are all still cool.
