Cheap, but tatty Campagnolo triple(ish) chainset. AND it's not Euclid either...

Some careful masking and some Hammerite and they'll come up like new

Shame it's got the middle and outer rings missing. @ferrus our fluent Italian component namer should be able to help with model. My guess is Olympus as it doesn't look like the graphite finish that Centaur also came with. 100% not Euclid due to shape/profile of the crank arms.

Olympus it is.
The finish isn’t anodising and comes of easily with paint stripper. They then need polishing and sealing with something like Poor Boys Wheel Sealant, or they’ll quickly oxidise.

There was also the lower range Themis with a similar coating, but these hardly ever turn up.
I’ve never seen one and don’t know if there’s any differences to Olympus -

Thanks for sharing Ben your knowledge is slowly rubbing off on me! Can't say I've ever seen any Themis for sale, but most sellers are normally clueless and always type "Euclid, Centaur, Olympus, Record OR" to maximise search coverage!

Those bar-end shifters are pretty cool though!

it’s often a bit DIY with Campag isn’t it - just call it anything you fancy

I do have a set of those bar end shifters in the drawer, 8 speed I think, if that’s an itch you ever need to scratch!

I'm always looking for excuses to find new itches to scratch! Now you've got me thinking is that an itch I can feel?!*

Ended with no bids...
