dia compe mx 1000 caliper authentication ?

[calmac]

i've got a set of dia compe ? brakes for sale on e-bay & someone has contacted me saying they are'nt original as they aren't dated on rear.
Is that the case, as i'm not really clued up on old school stuff.
Brake is listed along with other stuff under calumm2006 if you want a look.

the lever definately isnt DC, its a tec3 copy.  As far as I know the calipers should say mx1000 and a date, not A1000.  Dont look real to me unfortunately

Not really that bothered came on a bike, just clearing out, don't want a row with e-bay though.
think i'll just say not sure check pics, as i'm showing rear so not trying to hide anything.
what ya think ?

did have an "MX" graphic on front r/h/s opposite the black dia-comp one, i polished it off OOPS !!

The 'MX' on a genuine DC is cast into the metal and is not a graphic so you can't polish it off

I only just noticed today that the dia compe text on the left is stamped under the decal aswell .

  origonals are stamped up something like this  ?  think it depends on the year?  this set i  is beyond repair

tbh i think an original MX1000 with a polished off MX is going to be worth fek all mate.

The very early one's didn't have the stamp under the decal , so when id' ing these you can only go by the pin point cast quality and the stamping on the rear of the arms.
