Help identifying this Campy (?) hub
Hi all,
I was picking out a rear cassette hub at the co-op for a wheel build. I found some campy hubs that I didn't opt for (needless cost, and who wants to find a campy cassette?) but I found a hub that looked exactly like the other campy hubs. There were absolutely no markings on it, but it had a Campy cassette freehub. It was priced for $10. The shop assured me I wouldn't find a Campy cassette in their mixed bin, but I must have got lucky because I did find an 8 speed Campy cassette for $15. Not a bad day...
Anyway, I have no way of saying for sure if this is a Campy hub or not, and which model it might be. No stickers, engravings or clips. Were there any recent copies of Campy cassette hubs that might be unmarked?

That looks like a Campagnolo Athena hub.
Record, Chorus and Athena were polished, Veloce (and lower) were not polished.
The Chorus and Record had a oiler ring.
This one looks polished and does not have an oiler ring.
