Here it is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/38202070@N04/

I found a serial number: M8F0 743, it might be Centurion?

No Idea what it is, but I like it!

I would guess late 70's early 80's as the age, but you should get a good date match from the Shimano date codes.

Shimano 600 EX ("Arabesque") says about 1981.
