As a guess, crank 83? Seat 82/83? Might be later?

Date should be on the bottom of the seat, I would guess at 81/82 same for the cranks  :daumenhoch:

Shimano has a date code, two letters, something like HF. Should be on the back of the arms. First letter is year, second month, and they started counting years from A in 1977.
