I have heard all sorts of stories, but never a "confirmed sighting" regarding whether or not they reached production and then the consumer stage.

And, since you asked, there was a progression of quick release levers, but again, they applied across the board when updates were made. My pic below shows four variations (oldest to newest from the bottom):

Without re-posting that awesome but huge pic, I thought I'd comment, on your comment, & add another (blurry) pic or 2. I have that first version of levers, with "LOCKED" and the script Campagnolo logo. And I grabbed a couple pics just now, because otherwise it didn't happen. I haven't looked since right after I got these, so I'm only close on vintage, but it was definitely early '80s, like '82 or '84. EDIT: Doh, I'm an idjit sometimes, I was looking backwards. Mine are the newest, not oldest, LOL, but they still work great.
