ID on these Cantis please?

What are the below Canti brakes please?

They have DC 980 stamped which made me assume Dia Compe but nothing on Google in this style.

Definately Diacompe

Thank you. It seems they are 960 not 980.

Cheers

Well, 980 is possible too
These set in polished was for sale a while ago, obviously labeled with 980


Just very rare! And unfortunatly DiaCompe has reused the "980" name for nowadays crap too.

I'm searching since a while since if have seen this black 980 set mounted:

Ah cool. I’ll take a closer look at them shortly.

In terms of rarity that’s true as none sold on eBay and I’ve no idea what they worth. It’s only one pair not a full bike set

There was recently an offer in US
This nice store of vintage bike parts had a full set if I'm remembering right for something like 60 or 80USD.
The link is still available, https://www.gringineer.com/dia-compe-980-black-cantilever-brake-set.html but i can't find the listing any longer.

I got as set recently...they do come up occasionally, didn't pay too much for mine but they will need a complete strip down and polish

Damn, some silver ones of them would be perfect for my Aende., It will literally never be built, because by the time I track down one component there's two more that need changing.

980 for sure
