leather rifle sling

Modified by British for. These slings were standard on the Gueres when the Boers bought them from the Portuguese Army. Very good used condition (especially for a 130 year old sling). This one looks to have been captured by a British soldier (based on modifications & markings as I have no knowledge of the actual history). The sling has been modified by removing the Steyr/Portuguese button stud that secured the loop together at the lower sling swivel. A lacing system the same as the one later used on the SMLE No1 was used. The inside has been stamped “GNRB94147″ which may be the Service number of the Artilleryman (Gunner/GNR) who used it on his Long Lee MLE. Sling is still soft & pliable. There is some wear and deterioration of the leather but few cuts or nicks that are serious. The sling is black on the outer surface and dark brown on most of the inner. Contact me before purchasing.
