Backcountry Skiing Binding Collection Needs — Gertsch Bindings WITH TOURING ADAPTER

Bookmark and Share
This post by WildSnow.com blogger  

We’re still looking for the 1960s 1970s vintage touring adapter for the Gertsch or Besser plate binding. We have a Gertsch, but it’s in poor shape. Please contact us with any information that would allow us to track this down. While these were not hugely popular, a number of pair were in use all over the world for backcountry skiing, so there must still be some somewhere. We have two new pair of Gertsch bindings — all we need are the adapters to make these part of our collection!

    Hi,
    Are you still looking for a pair of these bindings for your museum?
    I have found a pair, and was going to throw them out, or give them away.
    They are touring plate bindings, and don’t quite look like the ones on your web-site.
    Note that Fritschi say they manufactured these and acquired the patents:
