Felix Ralling Hammerwerk Fulpmes
Made in Austria
Fulpmes is a market town and a municipality in Stubaital, Tyrol, Austria.
Many 1930s - 1955 climbing relics are only marked “Made in Austria.” So out of all of these made in Austria products, I do not know of how many blacksmith companies were making the overall amount of the pitons and hammers that made it into climbing catalogs in the USA. I believe that Felix Ralling was one of the blacksmiths that was creating pitons for the Werkgen Fulpmes Cooperative.

So out of all of these years that I have been admiring pitons, I have only found one F.Ralling manufacturers mark on a single piton looking in every museum as well. But I have many “Made In Austria” marked pitons.
