Help identifying this crankset vintage

I believe these are TAs but I can find no images. Do any of you know the vintage and on what bikes these might have been used? Thanks for any information.

Dont know what it is, but that 'all-hand machined' look is pretty nice ! Did you buy it ?

That's a Lambert or Viscount crank, that came on a Lambert or Viscount bike. Early 70's. It is a knockoff of the TA design with which the chain rings are interchangeable, but the bottom bracket is different.

what rhm said.....but I'd be inclined to say DeWalt

correct, although some of these take a normal square-taper BB spindle, and other take the proprietary un-tapered square BB spindle. I have personally owned both. I don't know of any way to tell them apart based on markings, though.

It's hard to make out, but the writing up near the bb spindle looks a lot like my Nervar. They used a few different shapes for the recessed bit.

I didn't buy it though I am regretting it now. Thanks a million for the Lambert/Viscount information. I'm not sure I would have ever found it.
