Hi CR gang,
Things seemed a tad slow on ebay today and my 1951 First Generation (OK, really third varient of the first generation) rear deraillieur did not sell. I sold this one on the CR list a couple of years ago and had 3 bids for $2,400 on it in a day - lucky John Barron bought it from me. Then I bought it back from him.
Anyway, I'm in a major cash raising mode right now, so it really should go. So if any CR listers want it today, it can be had at $2,400 plus shipping/insurance.
This piece is gorgeous, although the drilled pulleys are from a 1952 model. The ebay item number is given below - type it in and you can see the auction details. This really is Campy jewelry at its finest.
