Here is a similar set of rim decals that I have guessed to be from the 1960s, but that was just a guess. Note that it reads PROFESSIONAL over the face of MAVIC, but I think the rest is about the same. Also note the additional model decal, Record du Monde - de L'Heure

I have been asked by a friend to refurbish an early pair of Mavic 28/28 hole sprint rims. With a lot of work the rims have cleaned up very well, but I would like to replace the decals. One rim had half of one remaining which can be seen at:

This decal does not appear on the list of Cyclomondo or Lloyds Cycles. Does anyone know if they are available anywhere, or can provide me with a photograph of one with all the information showing so that I can then reproduce them so that they are available for everyone. Also any help in dating would be appreciated - I suspect 1950s.
Thanks. Peter Brown, Lincolnshire, England
