Hand sewn	Correct stamp	Darkens easily	How slings fit on MP40

New, quality ATF leather sling for WWII MP38 and MP40 SMG's. These are not sold by any other vendors- they are not the painted, stinky, piss-tanned treasures available from dozens of other companies. Our leather is properly dyed, takes oil well, and darkens quickly and easily. Our slings are the correct WWII length (120cm), hand sewn, correct steel hardware, with cross-hatched embossing.

Imported

Markings: We stamp these with "adf 1943" and a Waffenamt. However, just like on originals, the markings can be difficult to see- and once the sling is used very much, they will largely become even more faint. It's simply a characteristic of the leather- not a mistake. One of the hardest things to find in collecting is an original WWII K98, MP40 or MG sling with nice, legible markings. Normally one is lucky to even be able to see where the stamps once were, much less be able to read them.

Fit: Original MP38 and MP40's as well as ATI, GSG, and Denix reproductions.

Care: Just use mink or neetsfoot oil. Apply it with a rag, work it into the leather and then wipe off the excess occasionally. Do not fill a can with oil and soak leather anything for hours- most people seem to know this, but there are those special few...

German Sling Color Most complaints we receive are this: It's not chocolate brown like the original! Originals started out light brown. Dirt, oil, sweat, and sometimes polish or dye darkened them notably. 70+ years on, many are nearly black.
Original slings- the transition is easy to see.
