For sale here is a great looking US WW1 or WW2 Era M1907 Leather Rifle Sling for the M1903 Springfield or M1 Garand. I believe the sling is WW2 period due to the russet color that remains in places. The sling is complete with 2 leather keepers, 2 steel adjustment hooks, 2 blued steel slide hooks with blued rifle attachments, and 1 steel connector ring. 1 of the adjustment hooks has lost pretty much all of its finish, and the other appears to be blued, but also shows wear and finish loss. The leather is lightly stiffened, but is still plenty supple enough to move around as it should. The leather is good and strong, but there are a couple of places with surface finish loss and there is some surface cracking at a couple of the hole sets. All of the stitching is strong and the metal fittings, though worn, do not have any major issues. This sling will definitely display well, and should be fine for everyday carry as well. This sling has a great look and will be a good addition to your collection.

This one is the real thing. It was likely mounted on a m1903 or Rifle U. Model of 1917, but it could also have not seen use until a war later, on an M1 Garand. No cracks, splits, or deep mars, but it should be heavily conditioned before even mounting on a rifle. Note curved hooks and original keepers. Can’t read the inscription fully, but the date is 1918, and there’s an inspector’s mark below that. I would NOT use this for serious carry on a rifle. It’s 98 years old, and they tend to split preciptously. A lot of these saw use in and after the Second World War, as the “Great War” finished with several million on order/delivered after the Armistice.
