Genuine US Army Carabiner | Omega Pacific | NOS w/ Original Tag

For sale is a true piece of official military mountaineering gear: a genuine US Army issued carabiner. This is not a commercial off-the-shelf item, but a genuine military contract piece featuring the official NSN: 8465-01-322-7433 and contract number SPM1C1-12-D-1009 / 0006 (dating it to the 2012 OEF era). This hardware was manufactured by the iconic American company Omega Pacific (stamped Omega USA). Because the company has permanently closed, their gear has become highly collectible. We rate this a 6/10 on the rarity scale—while commercial Omega carabiners exist, finding this official military version completely unissued and still bearing the original factory paper tag is a rare find for surplus collectors. The solid aluminum body features deep factory stampings, including strength ratings (31 kN on the major axis). Important Safety Notice: Because this is a "New Old Stock" surplus item from an older government contract, it is being sold strictly for collectible, display, or reenactment purposes only. We do not guarantee its safety or structural integrity for actual rock climbing, load-bearing applications, or life-safety use!
