What a steal at $500.78 Buy it Now. It looks hardly used at all ::). You can buy a brand new Wossner kit for $180.

That the extra $ for the special wheelsmith marking

hang on to those grips(sorry for the pun) they would be worth a fortune.

You mean the vice marks?  Imagine how much a pair of those grips, stapled in the original packaging, with the original Franco era Spanish sunshine still inside, would be worth

Thats not a vice mark.Its from vice grips,there's no better tool to hold the piston while you beat that pesky gudgeon out !  ???

The marks are the impression from the front left hand cylinder base flange stud(M8 x 1.25), as the piston layed against it whilst the gudgeon pin was hammered out by an attack from the right hand side.
