The left crankarm and rear mech are replacements.
The 3TTT Gran Prix stem tellus us we can no be earlier than 1963.
The Huret 600 Allvit front mech tells use we can no be later than 1965.
You shall be able to read a specific date from the locknuts of the Campag hubs.
IIRC the forum had a thread on another Visser Vianqueur within the past year.
Ah yes, har she be:

Thanks Juvela! It's hard to tell at this point which components are original to the bike even it they are period correct. I think the rear derailleur was chosen just because of the red color scheme, obviously someone was paying attention to detial here.
I might have been too fast with my conclusion about the marque of the bike, though. I've seen the thread you mentioned before, however I didn't pay much attention to the head beadge. And that's where the things do not match. The Visser Vainqueur head badge uses 3 pins for its attachement and the head tube of my bike has only two holes. I also found an image of the Verhoeven head badge which is identical to the Visser ones shape wise, so not a match either.
