Marc, I trust your expertise, but just to be completely clear: how can you be sure these are Super Record, and not early Record that someone drilled? Are the holes distorted from the lever being formed after the holes were made, like on the SR we all know, or do you think they were drilled after the lever was formed? Does it look like the holes are anodized inside, as they would be if the anodizing were done after the holes were drilled?

Also, you wrote:

I just looked at the Benotto and Raleigh catalogs and those levers both have 10 holes per row. So maybe you have yet another variation?
