[NOS - while this highly coveted front derailleur may be in excellent condition overall, consistent with a new and unused vintage component, it does exhibit the slightest bit of blemish to the Simplex logo badging (...and it looks much worse than would otherwise appear to my naked eyes in the accompanying photographs) and there is a very minor nick on the edge its body at the rear (...not even visible in any of said pictures) - the chrome plating is perfect, there is no chamfering to any of the bolt or screw heads, the anodized finish on the derailleur body is unblemished, and the action is smooth and crisp]
