The 420 mm width and 25.3 mm clamp diameter sit at the core of this Philippe Atax unit.
The 420-25.3 reference on the inventory label gives the two measurements that matter first for a period-correct cockpit: total width across the drops and the central sleeve dimension. This is a French-made aluminium drop bar. The ledger entry lists FRANCE as country of origin and Aluminium as the material. The condition note on file states Oxydation: Non, so no rust staining or pitting is declared on this example.
Photos are part of the description. They record the exact surface state, the sleeve detail and the bend profile. The factory part number is logged as 0000.

The Guidon: Course entry places this bar in the road category, not a city or touring bend. For a complete rolling project, a matching Racing Handlebar, 420-25.6mm offers a very close clamp dimension with a slightly different sleeve tolerance. If the build also needs a period seatpost, the Vintage RUBIS SV 610 Seatpost can be compared in the same catalogue.
