Description: this is a vintage, authentic, World War One USGI, M1907 leather rifle sling. This sling is approximately 104 years old!
This is the real deal. This was a US government issue leather sling for World War 1.
Made in USA.
I have read that to gauge the authenticity of items like this, the brass keepers( frogs) are very important. You’ll notice close-up photos, and they look like they are connected with copper rivets.
I bought this item from the Civilian Marksmanship Program ( CMP) who received it from US Army warehouses, probably attached to a rifle. The slings were detached, folded carefully and put in storage.
I can show a copy of my receipt upon request.
Provenance is: US Government, to the CMP, to me.
It was in storage, possibly, for 50 years or more!
There are no tears evident.
This is for a museum piece rifle, or for a collector to put on their World war one M1903, M1903A3, or M1 Garand World War 2 rifle.
BONUS: included free with this sling are some National Rifle and Pistol Match memorabilia from Camp Perry, Ohio.
This will be in the form of stickers and/or a commemorative hat pin.
