You gonna eat that?
Is there a number stamped on the headbadge? The format is xxxy where xxx is the day of the year (001 through 365) that it was built, and y is the last digit of the year it was built. You have to look at the components and decals and stuff to figure out the decade.

"L7" = November 1977, and that makes it a 1978 model year Traveler III. It was made in Japan by National/Panasonic.
Here's the catalog page:
