Hello, There is currently a single mafac tandem lever on ebay. Item # 2220498346

http://ebay.com/<blah> 20&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1

It is over $200 and has not closed yet. It has an open back and dots between the levers. It is exactly like the one on my 70s Gitane Touring tandem. Why is this lever worth so much? Is there a mafac timeline? I have an identical lever with a partially closed back and no dots between the letters, is it newer and in comparison worthless?
Thanks,
chris ioakimedes
