It's an "L". It was common here in Southern California in the 1980s. Has forged aluminum rails and came with a longer replacement aluminum allen bolt for the single bolt Campagnolo Nuovo Super Record seat post. The rails were thicker than the normal steel wire saddle rails hence the longer replacement bolt provided.
A few years ago Euro-Asia Imports (wholesale to the trade only) ordered a bunch and they were remade (reissued) in a lot of colors. Very cool and desirable (only in my opinion of course).
