This "lett" model was the top of the line for Askjem's Elite brand

In the official Rules of Vintage Nordic Skiing

these skates were produced by Gresvig

but when we do you can rest assured that they are pretty special

(not "gaitors")

The striping has been masterfully touched up

Mfg date: 30s

it would need to be addressed were they to be used again for recreation

Beautifully restored

This should not affect performance

The bases have been rubbed down with some fresh "terva" (tar) from - shhhh - Norway

and this pair of poles is a nice example
