Stubai 1980 catalog

This piton bolt was donated to the museum by Scott Sellers and is marked Stubai Austria. Scott purchased the item from Bill Sewrey at Desert Mountain Sports in AZ in the 1970s. Comparing this item to the one shown in the 1967 Sporthaus catalog, the catalog shows the piton stem being the same size as the hammer end. But with this piton bolt the hammer end is bigger than the piton stem.
