This one has been detail QC’d and oil conditioned with premium quality neatsfoot, to make it more flexible, supple, and easier to install. That applications will also prolong the life of this very sturdy 12-ounce premium leather. A similar sling was used on the WWI Karabiner, the K. 98AZ, one of which is shown in a colorized imaged here with a 1918 storm trooper. These are NOT correct for that rifle, but WILL function and allow the firearm to be safely carried. There is no maker’s mark or date on here.
