72 Paramount
I purchased a chrome 72 P 13 Paramount recently and it is missing the Campy brake hoods. I assume it used the "globe" hoods and not the shield ones but just wanted to make sure.

I'm pretty sure the globe hoods were used, though I must admit to using the shield hoods myself to keep expenses down - on a Paramount absolutely identical to yours, no less (all-chrome '72 P-13):

Below is a photo of the bike. I just got a full set of nos decals and a period correct Brooks Professional seat. Please excuse my ignorance on the Campy hoods as they are called the "world" logo. I have a source that has some and plan to buy 2 pairs 1 for this Paramount and 1 for my Gios Torino Super Record. I will post photos after I get the decals and seat put on.
