The twin lever shifter is 100% original. Late 1950's and an evolution from a similar type but used in different actuation. This one is more conventional friction type. The large lever for operating a closed caged, plunger type front Huret derailleur. The particular front derailleur I have is picky. Has some brass components and well worn.

The small lever is for the rear derailleur, a Cyclo Gear Comp. - Benelux Sport P2 / Super 60. The derailleur is quite an oddball but a quality piece. All steel, short cage, parallel action with ball bearing pulleys.

I'm learning there's no 'hurry' nor 'hooray' in using Huret....
