The hub has 28H.
This track wheel was probably used for the Kilo or 4000 pursuit -Ind or
Team.
Duralca rim is Swiss from the '50's into '60's which would jive with
chronological balance of earlier rim and hub set up.
I recognize the DAS sticker, but have forgotten the name.
Its the first 28H, FB, 3-piece hub I remember seeing, too bad it's not the
pair.
I still have the original Duralca rims on my Rickert track machine I got
back in 62/3, and the one motorpace photo I have racing on the track in
Zurich shows the partial Duralca name on the track banking.
It's certainly a nice wheel to have and would be pretty slick on the right
bike.
