So when did Shimano first use the Dura-Ace name and what component was that name upon?

I have 1992 upon cranksets, anyone have an earlier date than that?

I always use Velobase as my primary source of vintage part investigation, I also update info there when I have it. They have a Dura-Ace crank in 1973 model GA-200. Can't be much help in general on Shimano as I tend to lean Suntour most of the time. Albeit, I do have some Dura-Ace (7400 Series) stuff on a Bridgestone bike.
