If the axle is hollow and Titanium it is the first series Super Record, one of which famously snapped and landed Laurent Fignon on the ground during the Blois-Chaville race in 1982. Personally, I wouldn't trust it in my bike. The second series was solid and the cranks were secured by a nut, not a bolt. That was considered fit for purpose I believe but by then confidence in the titanium BB had been lost.
