For what it's worth, I would not consider this "group" to be "NOS".
To me, NOS means that it is new, old *stock* that's never been mounted, or wrenched upon. I also wouldn't consider it a "group" if the bottom bracket is Italian threaded and the headset is French threaded!
This auction is an example of gradeflation... i.e., as prices get higher, grading gets looser. What used to be "take-off" is now "NOS".

Hope no one gets too p***ed at me for outing this, but there's a gorgeous Campy track groupo/wheelset w/ Cinelli steel bar and stem on e-bay from 1968 all NOS. I just want to see how high it goes, I'm not connected to the seller, just jealous of all that nice stuff.
