Beautiful jersey. And appears to be in great condition!

But... regarding the 1960s estimated date...

Mercier had been sponsoring professional racing teams virtually every year from 1933 through 1984.

The combination of Mercier - Miko - Vivagel sponsored teams raced only during 1979, 1980 & 1981.

That particular jersey (with the multi-colored chevrons at the bottom) only appeared during the 1981 season.
