Brev. Campagnolo is stamped on both chainrings.

That's a new (current model) crank. You need a current Record or Chorus
bottom bracket with a 102mm axle.

102 ISO or "Campy taper". I have a Chorus that is like new in British
68 mm shell if you are interested.

Thanks for the info - first person to help me (and I even called Campy USA)...

*How* did you know it was new and not old, though? Might help me in the future.

garen- I have a Campagnolo Record crankset (a double) that I would like to
use on a new bicycle, but I do not have the original bottom bracket.
I have been told that if it's an older Campy crankset it will probably
work with any "standard" spindle/BB from Tange or Shimano, BRBR
but that if
it's "newer" then it might require Campy specific parts. I suppose
this has something to do with spindle taper. BRBR

If the crank says 'Campagnolo' and 'Record ' with the size on the arm outside,
it needs a Campagnolo 102mm BB..If it just has a shield logo, then it needs a
Campagnolo 111mm BB.

Ya need a Chorus or Record BB in 102mm length.

The most obvious -

1. 10-speed is new by definition
2. Old Record cranks can't take a 39 tooth ring.

A quibble: Corsa-Record cranks used a 135mm bcd (and would therefore accept
a 39t ring) but required a 111mm bottom bracket.
