O.K., All I have is the levers and the lever bodies. I see the SIMILARITY between the two, but have no positive identification of the levers. At this point, I will defer to the knowledge of the respondents. However I will continue to research for a firm confirmation. I will then marry them up to the appropriate calipers. Bruce

That's funny Bruce, because I simply typed "Universal mod. 61" into a Google search box, and this CR page with ample photos was the very first result!

they look rather like a Universal mod. 61 brake lever to me, sans barrel adjuster and gum hood...

>Please look at my recent web-shot album. I have these brake handles and >I believe they cam from a set of Mafac brakes. However the top is flat, there is no logo, the handle and top pins are peened shut. The sweep is more pronounced and the profile thinner. Are these Mafac (not LeFol), orare these Gloria???
