There was a Korean company that also made cams that were of a similar design. EDIT: Trango cams are kind of in the same class as these. They work, but aren't ideal. |

The trigger bar and axle terminations look similar to an ABC cam I have. I’ll take a pic later to compare |

Maybe Salewa |

I'd guess ABC. But, in the early 90s several brands sold the same cam with different branding. These were Kong, ABC, Trango, Climb High, Camp, Lowe, etc. I seem to remember that they were Korean made. |

That "cable around the axle" construction wasn't used in those cams you list (as far as I've seen each of them). It smacks of Gear For Rocks of early EBay fame. |
