215cm Splitkein Mid-1960s Wood Cross-Country Touring Skis - Great Condition!Beautiful pair of Gresvig Splitkein wood cross country skis. Rare underside tip branding! (see pic) Gresvig got access to the Ullevoldster stbye patent after Peter stbye had to surrender his ownership (including the Splitkein plant) as punishment for being a Nazi sympathizer during the Second World War. These skis feature a classic pair of Gresvig Kahdahar bindings, which was the de facto ski touring binding until the mid 1960s. The waterslide decals

This pair is a matching numbers set with a catch - the bases have different construction
