Very nice looking sling overall. This is an original leather sling from a Krag or Trapdoor. This sling type can and was used on other rifles up to 1907 and beyond. It has very good brass hardware and very good leather. The frog is of the 1st design with the thinner legs. The keeper stitching is very strong as is the section that holds the two sling leather pieces together. The leather is strong and will easily hold the weight of a rifle, including the keepers. The leather has medium and darker medium brown colors. The leather is soft and pliable with some minor wear spots. Some hairline cracks but not that many. Some cracking just after the joint section. Surface wrinkles, spider wrinkles and smooth leather for the most part. A curved of wear can be seen near the button. It measures approximately 69 3/4 inches. The backside of the leather looks very good. The tip is stamped with what looks like “G W”. I will be posting more of these slings.

Very good looking sling overall. This is an original leather sling from a Krag or Trapdoor. This sling type can and was used on other rifles up to 1907 and beyond. It has very good brass hardware and good to very good leather. The keeper stitching is very strong as is the section that holds the two sling leather pieces together. The brass button has some green tarnish. The frog is securely attached and has the 1st model legs which are thinner than the later frogs. Five frog holes in from the brass button, there is a crack. This crack may have been repaired but it may be weak. Three frog holes below the sewed section, there is a crack. The dark section looks a little weak due to the feel and surface cracks. This probably won’t hold the weight of a rifle but would be perfect for display. Adding a leather section on the backside of the cracks would strengthen the sling. The leather has medium and darker brown colors. The medium brown areas have a combination of smooth and surface wrinkles and the darker area has some surface wear, hairline cracks and some surface cracking. The leather is soft and pliable. It measures approximately 68 inches. The backside of the leather looks very good. The tip is stamped with what looks like ” G W “. I will be posting more of these slings.
