All I know about the Huret gruppo, other than some odd parts I've seen is contained in the ad posted on my blog. Click to enlarge it and you'll see the whole gruppo as well as a photo of Paul Sherwen. Kim Klakow sent me that image; many thanks.
The crank, both in the ad and the e-bay listing, does look like a Nervar. Those Stars really were one of the nicest looking cranks and you didn't even need a special puller to remove them. I noticed that crank and would love to buy it, but for the price...

I'm 99.9% sure this is a Nervar Star crank with Huret markings. Was this crank part of the Huret gruppo you refer to?
Interesting crank, but a bit high at $200, I thought.

I thought I'd share what I'd learned since I found it very interesting: These seat posts were made by the firm of JP Routens, the famous French constucteur. The were also included in the short lived Huret gruppo.
By the way, I have one on E-bay ( item # 140009821797 ) and I'll post some photos on the Velo Orange blog in a few minutes.
Many thanks to those of you who provided information.
