Dru Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Lyle Knight sent me a heads up on these. they are 1977 version Snargs. probably great conversation value and very low safety value. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1851849726 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodchester Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I believe that these are actually US Army (military) issue "ice pitons" from the 1960s. They are pound in but have no thread and the hanger does swivel. I 'kind of' collect old climbing shit and I have one of these. They were dumped "in masse" onto the market in the mid 1990s with a bunch of old regular rock pitons, also GI issue. US Gov't was cleaning house then. End of cold war. I am not so sure they are "snargs" as made by Camp/Lowe. Most of these were made by a company in Wyoming that is now out of business...that is my understanding anyway. Could be wrong. They are strictly a collector item as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
