What Bindings Are these?

I just picked up some Rossignol FKS bindings from a ski sale. They were 10 bucks so I figured I couldn't go wrong. The fronts of the bindings are round and similar looking to marker bindings. The backs look like normal FKS bindings. They are purple and black, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I really don't think they're FKSs then, but again, pics would help figure it out.

well they are for sure FKS, I've never heard of a 10 DIN FKS, but I guess there are some out there. Those are really sick and an AMAZING deal at $10. Good find.

Does anyone know about what they are worth? They are in practically new condition with no real signs of wear. The din was set at about 4, so I don't know what kind of person was using them before me. Unfortunitally, I am 6 3, 175 skiing park and idk if a DIN of 10 will hold up. Any thoughts?

I'll buy them if you're considering selling them - PM me and we'll talk about price. I don't know what they're worth, but you'll make some money if you only paid $10 for them.

I think for now I will just mount em up and see how it goes. Thanks for all the insight I appreciate it. I think it will be a pretty unique setup on my spiral anthems

FYI I believe these bindings are not indemnified. Meaning that your shop cant mount/test the bindings.

There are the two normal screws, and then one more under the body of the front, So my local shop won't be able to mount this?

if your wondering about the geze toe, go google geze bindings. you'll be shoked at what you find out.
your shop may be able to mount them just depends if they have old jigs.

the geze toe is just the older model FKS toepiece
Geze was a binding company that made rossi bindings but then rossi became part of dynastar/lange/look and stuff and they changed the toe to the one found on the P and PX series of Look bindings and also on the new FKS they started re-selling this year

i just noticed but what is depressing the brake? and where is the piece of your heel that the metal bar rests on and the forward pressure thing is?

binding is taped down which is why the break is up, heel lever is also up so the metal piece in the back. Imagine this picture has an invisible boot in them (except the break lever is up)

this geze may be 4 screw.  Ive had plastic geze fks in the past that have been 4 screw, they were 14 din though.

They should be able to.  The binding is still mountable according to rossi.  Basically it depends on whether or not they have an older rossi jig, or the competence of the tech.  You can easily mount skis without a jig, it takes patience and some experience.
