Anybody know a rough year for these tuners?

I bought an 1980 Gibson Les Paul and the tuners had been replaced with a set of Guild ones. I've been looking around trying to find out how old they might be, but I haven't had much luck. They have a script logo and are the Gibson/Grover style. I've since replaced them with some original Gibson ones.

I have a '73 Bluesbird and they're not the same as the tuners that are on there, so I thought perhaps they were late 70s or 80s ones? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!

hey tweedledee,

my 1981 d-46 has got those tuners mounted.

according to hans' book these are schaller m 6 with a guild logo on it.
the schallers have been introduced in the early 70's and soon got the guild logo.
sorry, but I don't know more.

Thanks Krysh!

That's very helpful. I thought they might be from the 70s or 80s, so that makes sense.
