US WWII ( Mountain Troops ) Pitons

This is a great lot of WW2 Era mountaineering pitons.
During WWII the US Army organized its first mountain troops, eventually expanded into the 10th Mountain Division. It consisted of skiers, mountain climbers, woodsmen, hunters and other outdoor types.

The climbers were issued with all the latest equipment, including these iron pitons. These were hammered into cracks in the rock to anchor climbing ropes.

in a very good condition
