Made of a leather and steel this sling is GOOD used condition! There are some slight marks and wear, but nothing that detracts. Light it color, it was probably not used much. The cross-hatching has faded over time. Original keeper is missing. This set features a manufacture stamp and date on the sling, indicating. A bit stiff, it measures approx. 47, and it would make a PERFECT item for any collection or display! TERMS OF SALE. Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. ABOUT ME. Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft Fw190, Me262, etc. , as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. Use is solely based on my authorization only. Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.
