UNKNOWN PITON # 16 - Markings on the piton are possibly what was already on the sheet of metal it was created from, "0399D" - very small piton eye for carabiner.

UNKNOWN PITON # 17 - No markings on the piton. I believe it was made in Europe. Very nice piton. Metal feels like stainless steel or special metal mix.

UNKNOWN PITON # 18 - No markings on the piton. 1/2" Baby angle piton.

UNKNOWN PITON # 19 - No manufacturer marks on the piton. The ring looks like possibly stainless steel so this piton may be a early 1960s Doug Black angle. But it is not welded, and most Doug Black pitons are. Has the past owners initials "COLE."
