What grapple is this

[Oroboros]

Anyone know what grapple this might be. Tags have worn badly and seller doesn't know what it is? Guesses?

Thanks in advance.

Bmg. Old school.

Branch manager.

My guess as well.

Any idea of fair market value? Judging from the picture.
Anything common problems to look for?
Appreciate your help guys.

$1000

No problems. If its more than that, just buy a new year one. Worth it!

If I'm seeing it right I believe it's a top notch attachment.I can check with my boss on Monday.I am almost positive we have the same grapple on all of our minis.

It's a Branch Manager Grapple (I'm a rep/salesperson for Top Notch Equipment/Branch Manager Attachments on the side). What it's worth always depends on the buyer, but I would ballpark around $1500

A new grapple is $2399 (without the 2% forum discount I offer) and it has these advantages:
Wider opening, that one should be around 46-47" whereas the new version is ~53-54".
Updated knuckle to prevent the holes from wallowing out
Updated dogs on the bottom and dogs added on the front.
Pushing spikes on the tip of the hanger for pushing trees over.
Reinforced tines on the grapple, although that era had less issues with bending the tines.

Thanks very much everyone. Think I will try and do a deal on it.
