This listing is for ONE old used original Carabiner or snap link that is marked Kong-Bonaiti Italy on one side and UIAA (circle) N kN 3719  14 on the other side. I am fairly certain that indicates tensile strength.     This is a well used snap link or Carabiner (civilian term for snap link). The spring loaded locking gate is strong and fully functional. The locking nut slides into the threaded portion of the gate. See Photos. I have several like this so if you need more than one, just enter how many you want.


Size:

It is 4 3/4 inches long outside edge to outside edge.


In width it is 2 1/2 inches outside edge to outside edge


Inside it is 3 3/4 inches x 1 1/2 inches. It is made of 7/16 inch steel.


It is rated at least 2000 lbs tensile strength with the gate closed.


This snaplink has some surface rust patina, orange paint and is tarnished.  These snaplinks had a number of uses to include rappelling, constructing rope bridges, climbing and rigging. This snaplink is guaranteed to be original. This item is for historical collector use only and not intended for use in mountain climbing or rappelling. To do so is at your own risk. Almost every soldier carried one of these at one time. Used with rope, they provided a mechanical advantage to many tasks. Weight is approx 5 oz.


Note: This is the actual photograph. It shows some surface rust and paint. If this bothers you, then please don't buy it. I have a very limited number of these that have been in storage for many years. Photo of snap link with gate open is for illustration purposes only.


As with all my listings, If for any reason you are not satisfied, you may return the item within 14 days for a full refund. See Photos. A nice addition to any elite insignia collection. See my other Listings for  parachute wings and other elite unit memorabilia. Buyer pays $8.00 shipping. Insurance, if desired, is extra. Email me if you have any questions. Payment in U.S. Dollars by PayPal (PREFERRED for immediate shipment).

AIRBORNE!


With the recent huge increase in U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
