leather rifle sling

I will be at the National Rifle & Pistol Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. Please order before or after these dates. Description: this is a vintage, authentic, USGI. M1907 leather sling for the M1903 Springfield rifle. This sling is approximately 104 years old! I have read that to gauge the authenticity of items like this, the brass keepers(frogs) are the most important. You’ll notice close-up photos, and they look like they are connected with brass rivets. I bought this item from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) who received it from US Army warehouses, probably attached to a rifle. The slings were detached, folded carefully and put in storage. I can show a copy of my receipt upon request. This is the real deal. This was a US government issue leather sling for World War I. Provenance is: US Government, to the CMP, to me. It was in storage, possibly, for 50 years or more! It was pretty dry when I obtained it, so I soaked it in pure neatsfoot oil, the same oil people use for reins, saddles and other leather equipment for horses. There are no tears evident. There are some superficial cracks from military usage, and age. The neatsfoot oil made this leather very soft and supple. That said, this is a for a museum piece rifle, or for a collector to put on their M1903, or M1917 World War I rifle. I would not use this sling to “loop up” on the target range! BONUS : included free with these sights are some National Rifle and Pistol Match memorabilia from Camp Perry, Ohio. This will be in the form of stickers and/or a commemorative hat pin. But don’t worry, you will not be returning this! Just check my Feedback. Feedback : I leave feedback after it is left for me. Thank you for looking!

WWII US M1907 LEATHER RIFLE SLING. FOR’03 SPRINGFIELD OR M1 GARAND. DOUBLE MARKED MILSCO 1944. This WWII US M907 Leather Rifle Sling belonged to a friend of mine who recently passed away.

This particular sling shows only light use/wear and the tan leather is slightly dry but remains solid/supple overall The sling is complete with both the correct parts (see photos). The leather strapping has no elongated holes and both leather keepers are present/intact (see photos). The fittings are steel (as opposed to the earlier WWI brass fittings) indicating WWII manufacture and both remain securely attached (see photos). This sling is double marked with MILSCO 1944 stamped to the leather below each fitting (see photos). This WWII US M1907 leather sling remains solid/complete showing only light use/wear.

Original WWI M1907 U. Army Leather Rifle Sling – Stamped G&K 1918. Made by G&K (Graton & Knight) In 1918. Brass is in good condition, without verdigris, but there is cracking in between some of the hook holes. None of the cracks extend through the sling. As such, this would be an excellent sling for display for an M1903 or M1917 as it looks great. I would not recommend this as usable sling for taking to the range or shooting an NRA Highpower match with. Please see my store for other items. Please see my other items for sale.
