Interesting. I see nothing there to confirm that these were done by Campagnolo, and my educated guess is that they were done after market. I have been involved since the mid 1970s with companies that have been importers of Campagnolo and never saw these offered by Campagnolo. I have however seen many modified and plated parts that were done after market.

I hope the winner of the auction doesn't think that these were factory plated brakes! Anyone else with any opinion?
