New, American made reproduction WWII pattern M1907 pattern leather slings for M1903 and M-1 Rifles. This product is a reproduction of the slings made during WWII- meaning they have steel rather than brass hardware like those made in WWI. The M1907 slings are made by us, in our shop in Columbia, Ky.
These are NOT the chintzy brown-painted water buffalo afterbirths sold on ebay...
We start with the finest 8 oz. cowhide available, strap cut it to 1.25", hot-oil it by hand, crease the straps, then cut the holes with gang dies. Sewn with linen thread. The leather is thick yet supple and the color is the correct light russet brown of a lightly used original.
This will fit any weapon with 1.25" sling retaining loops. Short strap is 23'' and long strap is 46''.
Made in USA
Marked "Kirkman 1942".
