length: 188 cm
width: 12-20 cm
weight: 5.7 KG
Step into the rugged world of alpine history with this authentic pair of vintage army skis, crafted from solid wood and equipped with robust metal bindings. Likely produced for military use during the mid-20th century, possibly in the USSR or Eastern Europe, these skis were built for endurance in harsh winter conditions.
Painted in classic military green, their weathered patina and aged hardware reflect decades of history making them not only functional gear of the past but also a beautiful decorative object or collector’s item.
Features:
Era: Estimated 1940s–60s
Type: Military issue wooden skis
Material: Solid wood with metal spring bindings and leather strap hooks
Color: Original olive/military green paint with natural wear and chipping
Bindings: Heavy duty steel spring bindings with integrated footplates and toe clamps
Condition: Good vintage condition for their age rust on hardware, paint wear, and surface marks (see photos). Aged but solid for decorative/display use.
Use: Ideal as wall decor, ski lodge ambiance, winter-themed displays, or a collector’s item
Their utilitarian design, worn authenticity, and history as survival tools in snow-covered terrain give them a unique charm that resonates with both design lovers and history buffs.
