Vintage Durro Darts

[Ni518079]

I have no idea what these are exactly, but I liked the looks of them. If you know anything about Durro the brand or the model of these that would be greatly appreciated. Got them from someone on ebay that said they bought them in the 70's and been in a drawer forever. I do believe they are old as the flights basically turned to dust when I moved them. They have 2ba shafts unlike some of my older darts. They look like tungsten but feel light for their size, maybe stainless or aluminum alloy? They don't appear to be coated brass. The knurling is very deep and pointy, very grippy.

20 grams
9.7mm at the widest
51.25 long

You could get 2BA threaded darts in the late 70's as the darts I played with back then were 2BA. Given the dimensions they seem a lot light to be tungsten.

I don't know if it is on here or on the other forum, but the Durro "office" used to be round the corner from me when I lived in Leyton, East London back then. I did a street view seach on google maps and posted a picture of the place as it is now - it looks like a converted garage or a small outbuiling that someone built for the purpose - certainly not a hub for a large darts manufacturer lol. I wish I had known about Durro back then though as I would have been round there every week cadging a few free samples lol.
