Shimano FC-M452 cranks

[bikesnoopy]

I have a set of these cranks.
Does anyone know what "level" they are within the Shimano range(STX-LX-XT etc)?
Also, approx what year are they?
They're 5 arm compact drive.

M452 was mountain LX

FC-M452 is a Mountain LX crank, If you have a compact (94bcd) one I'd like to see pictures, as I'm pretty sure they stopped making them about 3 years before Shimano moved to compact rings.

Thanks fot the info. . . will check to see if they are in fact CD!
Ive had them so long, i just "assumed". . . (possibly wrongly).
I will dig them out & check! :?
