An Original Fossati chain, or so it says on the side plates. I had never heard of it so I googled it and Vittorio Fossati is the company that makes Everest Chains. Looks like they don't do bicycle chains any more, just conveyor and automobile chains. This one is titanium, and weighs just 226 gms. Found with a NOS Super Record gruppo from 1977.

I don't suppose it would last long on a rider but it will go well with my 17-lb Teledyne.
