Help needed to identify a couple of Campagnolo bits

I'm trying to sell a couple of things but apparently I might have the wrong group name.
I've identified the brifters as C Record from this on velobase
http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx? ... 5&AbsPos=5

They have black paddles, but this is mentioned on the velobase link.

Any help?
:
Also, I think the calipers are Chorus, but apparently they're not! Someone on here suggested Athena, but they don't have Athena written on them!

Thanks.
 
Calipers look very like late 80s-early 90s Athena (not the monoplaner type) with more recent replacement blocks. They didn't have the groupset name on at this point, hence the lack of it.

EDIT: just looked more closely. Maybe they are monoplaner after all!

Brifters are not C Record. C Record didn't have brifters, I believe. The link is to Record, which came after C Record. The black parts referred to are shown -- the paddles behind the brake lever were only black plastic on the lower groupsets, and I think later than this (they were metal on Record). Are those black paddles plastic, or "graphite" coloured metal?

Thanks, you're right, definitely not C Record! I know nothing about Campy stuff, as is quite evident.
It looks like Athena did look like mine at one point. I've found a picture that shows them on a frame.
The paddles are plastic, but the diagonal lines on the levers look like they're record, I can't find any athena/mirage levers that look like these. Velobase is a bit limited when it comes to campy brifters it seems.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I didn't buy these as Record I just assumed that's what they were, so I'm not that bothered if they're not. I just want to know the group so I can list them properly.
 
The Ergo shifters look like 1994 Athena/Veloce or 1995 Mirage. The Athena brakes from 1994 had integrated blocks/holders just like the ones in your picture and the pointy metal nut on the main pivot bolt.

Probably both Athena I would say.

Mark.
 
Think the shifters are 8spd Mirage - they have the resin shift lever, so bottom end. Early good ones were all alloy, then went to all carbon, anything with mix of alloy and "plastic" is bottom end.
