Purchased in Nepal in 1988. I believe it was sold in Kathmandu by a mountaineering team from the Soviet Union or a neighboring communist country at the time to obtain foreign currency. It's a copy of Wild Country Friends. I used it regularly for crack climbing at places like Ogawayama. There is no damage. I am also listing up to #4, so please take a look. Silver cam #1 The straps were added later.
