DID make decent enough chain, but what is it for? where did it come from? Anyone can buy 100m length of industrial chain and make it up into sets and flog it off at application specific, premium prices.

If you're not sure and have doubts about its provenance, work out the cost of failure. Is that less than the cost of buying "the right thing"?
Prob is you can't always tell by a casual glance, and there are lots of grades to choose from.

DID make excellent chains, used to sell a lot of these to sport bike owners. I have no idea how good their Lambretta chains are.
