what year are these? > real brake levers

[obi-wan-mtb]

Hi,

got two sets of real brake levers and was wondering if someone knows their age.
One is silver with silver logo (bottom) and has a bit longer lever compared to the one with the black logo (top).
The bodies are identical, except for the bolt.
I think the completely silver one is older? 1990?
Same age as the old avid ultimate levers?

Help please...

Longer ones are no later then 96. The later ones had to spots for cable placement, one for v's and one for Cantis. The last year of the longer lever had this feature as well. I had a set of each back in the day and recently aquired a black set of the shorter ones for my current project.

both of them have two slots for the cable barrel, so guess they are both from 1996? or is the shorter one a bit later, say 1997 orso?
thought these were much older, like 1991 and 1993 orso...
