Walter:
Your description sounds like some earlier Shimano 600 shifters from the
late 70's or early 80's. They had fancy filigree embossing cast or
stamped into the shifters & derailleurs. I remember assembling and
selling some Miyata 912's that came equipped with this group at around
the same time that Shimano introduced the Dura Ace AX line. They're
really nice looking. Wish I had held onto some back then, but I don't
know what I would do with them right now.
Happy cycling - Mark
