I have a pair that came from a Campagnolo Valentino equiped Mazeratti (SP?) They are however very effective stoppers.

They were accompanied by Ballila levers which I didn't try. They spent some time on my Serotta Club series. They have a slightly longer reach than the Universal 68 sidepulls they replaced. They responded well to polishing and look top notch.
