Hello;

I have a circa 1960s Mafac catalog. It shows three types of Guidonnet levers. http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/~fuseken/cycle_temp/mafac_catalog.jpg

GE Guidonnet enfant : for children G1, G2 Guidonnet cyclotouriste gauche et droite : I think that they are dural (aluminum) for adult. GDA1, GDA2 Guidonnet cyclotouriste delrin arme gauche et droite : They are delrin (plastic) coated metals.

I think that the levers as David shows are "V1, V2 Poignee ville deportee gauche et droite".
