Genuine US Army Locking Carabiner | Omega Pacific "Snap Link" | NOS in Package
Description
For sale is a true piece of official military mountaineering and tactical gear: a genuine US Army issued locking carabiner. The official military nomenclature is SNAP LINK, MOUNTAIN PITON, TYPE II. This hardware was manufactured by the iconic American company Omega Pacific. As the company has ceased operations, their gear—especially official military contracts—has become highly collectible. This is a heavy-duty, silver-colored carabiner featuring a screw-lock gate. On a rarity scale, this is a solid 6/10. While commercial Omega carabiners exist, finding this specific, massive military model completely unused and still sealed in its original government packaging (Contract SPE1C1-18-D-1061) is a rare treat for surplus collectors and reenactors. 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!
