Here is the serial number ...
If you are right , I will know the value of the seller's informations ...
I am always skeptic about what people tell me about their skis but , still , that pair is as good as when it was shipped out of the factory .
Thank you !

They are 210 CM the 210 is in the photo but Rossi would measure the running surface up around to the tip, not cord length tip to tail. The ski may measure 207 cord length.

OK you have a 210cm (as @Uncle-A correctly ID'd) GS ski from 1986 from the 6P, the 33 is the race room construction type, with the serial #09790. So you did get a Race Room set.
The 33 was previously called the 3GC and had a different sidecut with a narrower waist and tail than the popular 3G and they dove into a turn a lot quicker.
There were also a 3GI and a 3GCI versions but those had a different Iso-Omega core.
They ski very similar but the 3GC's just crank in and load the tail so there's not a lot a forgiveness to say the least.
Here are the Tip/Waist/Tail dimensions from my 84 versions,
3GC 89.5/69/78.5
3G 89.5/67/76
The 3G's are still undrilled with the original top skins while the 3GC's were re-finished with the white top-skins.
The 4SI's are from 85 and have a grooveless GS base on them
Why yes it does, my bad. I was popping back and forth in the forums because I was also going to post the ROC 550 with the red Nevadas I set up at the same time, and got confused. Its not hard...
I will be posting a bunch of winners, and the ROC's, over the coming weeks...
See what I mean...
The Rossignol SM VAS - I had a pair of those in maybe 1978? They were smooth on the groomed, but 203cm was long for me. Thanks for showing these. I have looked through the Rossignol posts and this the first time I have seen them. I also had ST 650 and used ROC 550.
The V.A.S. didn't come out until 82 or so...when had a run of blue skis....then went back to silver then...things got exciting when the teal grean 4S came out.
Yes, 1982 that Vibration Absorbing System (VAS) was available in the top of the line Rossi skis. It was a joint project that started in 1978 between Rossignol and the French Government Nuclear Labs at Grenoble. VAS was a Neoprene strip that had 40 thin wires running through it and was placed in different parts of the ski depending on the flex desired for that ski. I a very early thread here that members put up questions and other members tried to answer, this was one of the questions put up about who was the Rossignol partner to develop the VAS and I never went back to put up the answer.

Who's Ross jacket is that in the background?
No idea. Sorry.
That ski is about 10 - 12 years older than the ROC so my guess is that they are not anything like the ROC. The ROC was a great GS ski, a metal sandwich ski, the early ones were wood core and the later ones I think were foam core. The age of those Solomon bindings may give you a better clue of the age on the ski. I am not familiar with that model Solomon maybe another member can share something on the binding. @Bill Talbot may be that guy for the bindings.
Don't know too much bout this model.
