150cm Finnish Bamboo Cross-Country Ski Poles - early 1960sThese "no name" Finnish cross country ski poles are in fantastic shape, given their age they likely hail from the late 1950s or early 1960s based on the materials used and how the handles and baskets are constructed. Normally Finnish poles of that era would have a branding on the inner pole strap, but there is nothing on these. One thing to note is that one of the straps has been replaced, but in the trade we consider that "patina" ; ) The large

Madshus is now seen very often on the feet of world cup skiers

The example for sale is a standard mid-1960s 3-pin touring binding

but along the way picked up a few VM/OG medals - Madshus skis were popular among elite Norwegian women in the 60s and 70s

it's a timepiece

just like mine

which was the de facto ski touring binding until the mid 1960s

Unlike other Nordic ski bindings of the era

This original pair of racing gaiters from Odlo of Norway was recently acquired on a trip to Norway and would make a great complement to your retro racing kit

and lent his name to a successful brand of speed skates

Great for display or use

One of the leather cross-straps is missing

Some of the greatest minds in Norway have weighed in on what "Mønsterbeskyttet" means
