Who made this?
It’s not a good photo but would someone know the maker of this derailleur and maybe something about it.
It looks like it may say Suntour.
Thanks

this version has a large cog capacity of 24T vs the 34T of the VGT
it wraps 26T vs the 40T of VGT
date - early 1970's

Definitely SunTour. Either V-Luxe or V-GT-Luxe, depending on cage length.
