Existence of first-gen 1984 C-Record Pista crankarms (engraved logo) in 175mm?
Title says all. No picture.
Found one at a local shop a few days ago (NOS, no less), but I couldn't quite make heads or tail of it. I know the '84s were the only versions to have engraved shield logos (and the crankarm is dated [11]), and it was indeed a C-Record pista arm (permanently-installed, press-fit chainring bolts, no inner chainring shelf), but it was a 175mm. Velobase doesn't even account for the later ones in 175mm.
Oddball? Rare as heck? You tell me.

We'll see. I'm going to put some time towards their NOS Mavic 631 Starfish crankset first. That's a 180mm set though - not ideal.
175 is not out of the question for C-Record Pista production then - correct?
EDIT: Just checked Catalog 18. Looks as if they produced them from 165mm through 180.

Found an orphaned left 175mm crank arm. Not engraved but still campy.

175mm seems long for a pista arm, no?

Possibly pursuit, hour record attempts, etc.
