A campagnolo crankset with the following date code :

172.5 PISTA [32] <fleur-de-lis>

Is this a mythical frank-threaded PISTA crank where time ran backwards while they were making the date-mark, which changed from [33] to [32] halfway through the stamping process ?? Does this belong in the Smithsonian ??
