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!
