Does a magnet stick to them? I think the "S" calipers are aluminum.

they are.... i weighted also the smaller calipers ....

They look like early S calipers to me. I haven't seen any with the "TEST" stamp so I'd be curious what that is, but everything else points to an early set of ATE aluminum S calipers.

Thinner "webbing" on sides of caliper indicates early S. Later versions were thicker and had a smoother look.

I think the test stamp is from the compagny that rebuild them....

Thanks

yep, should be the one on the far right ...

They do look to be early, but not the earliest versions. The earliest versions did not have the notches cut out near the bleed nipples. Also, the earliest I have handled had the same circular machining on the inside of the mount ears as on the outside.
The TEST stamp is very odd, and not something I have seen. The experimental calipers have a "V" for versuch and a numerical identifier.

Who did the restoration of these?
