It broke at 27.6 kN, or 110% of the rated strength. It broke at the point where stresses are normally highest. Lots of deformation (almost 10 mm).

holy wow; that's impressive for a old piece of junk that NOBODY would put their life on. makes one feel a little safer about rapping off old fixed biners, even more so if they are not de-laminating!

It seems to say 25 to the left of 7kn for an open gate - that'd be the rating for a close gate right?

So the mank is probably just peeling paint yeah?

No; it's the actual aluminium flaking away. I've seen it before on a pair of old biners up at the Fortress (Gramps), and the flaking was to about halfway through the biner - very scary; we didn't use them obviously. They may have been in a water runnel; but otherwise not sure why so heavily corroded.
