leather rifle sling

The leather stitching is solid all over. The one metal buckle loop, both double claw hooks and all six rivets holding the hooks onto the sling are steel. The rivets are solidly attached, keeping the claw hooks tight on the leather sling strap. There is no movement of the claw hooks at all. Both keepers are solid and present. The MILSCO 1943 stamping is very clear on both sling straps. The long leather part is solid the entire length without any cracking I can see. I does have some rubbed places in the center section but front and back have no cracks, especially between the claw holes. The leather is supple and it is not dried out. The 2d, smaller length of sling is also solid, but it does have minor cracks between three or four of the sixteen sets of claw holes. All the leather is present and the cracks are surface only, minor. All in all, this 78 year old sling looks really good. I have not cleaned it or attempted to treat the rubbed spots, just have just wiped the sling off to removes some of the decades of dust, etc. It came out of an old WW II military collection. This an excellent example of an original WW II sling, used on a rifle, but showing no abuse. The item “Original Complete MilsCo 1943 Leather Rifle Sling” is in sale since Sunday, March 21, 2021.
