Vintage Dura-Ace First Gen Brake calipers - Black
Edit: ended up using these myself
This is a very cool set of 7100 series (not first gen) calipers. Almost no wear on the pads, with very nice action. They would look a lot better with some "anodization pen" work.
39-49mm reach.
Asking $45 shipped.

Yup a just few minutes with the "annodizing pen" (Sharpie) would bring those calipers right back up to looking great!
I've done the same for many used parts I used on my builds with great results.

Sorry
NOT First Generation Dura-Ace, (and perhaps not even originally anodized black? One of my sets of 1st Generation DA Black Anodized that's right here next to me looks much more Glossy. Your pair appear Flat or Satin.)
I've "touched up" my DA 1st Generation Chainrings with Sharpie, but at angle it looks more "purpley" then black. I suppose it is "good enough" to pass a quick glance on a rider, and it comes off easily with alcohol?

Triangulation
Thanks for the correction. I guess they do look different than these, which are labeled first generation. What would you call them?

Thanks, very helpful. Yes, these appear to be 7100's.
Also just noticed that they're marked 39-49mm reach.
