Great Stephane! I was thinking that tube could be Camp but I no longer have the Camp catalog files you sent me years ago. The thieves that broke into my house did a great job of having me start over with everything I had stored on the computer.

I lately found these pitons in Austria. I was surprised by the form of some of them. Did Werk Fulpmes first make blade pitons with "two eyes" like the one in the photo?

Trying to establish originality of design when it comes to older pitons is really tough but Werk Fulpmes is a good guess and not Stubai in my experience. The somewhat mysterious pitons simply stamped MADE IN AUSTRIA are the earliest versions that I have seen with Cassin not far ahead. Certainly a sensible design that solves the eye crowding problem inherent in placing vertical pitons into corners.

Who designed that tubolare ovale with the dangerous ‘feathers’, Tomas de Torquemada?
