A local bike shop manager phoned to let me know that the owner would love to dump a pair of old Fiamme rims on me - cheaply! ... I couldn't resist. They are both straight and round and without damage, although well used.

Anyone care to guess at the date of manufacture?

Here are couple quick photos I shot before the sun faded:

The knight's helmets on the decals have Yellow rather than Gold colored plumes... Perhaps a clue?

I'd appreciate any info. - Thanks!
