Description: Offered is an original World War One era production United States military issue Model 1907 leather sling made for use with the 1903 Springfield or Model 1917 rifles. This will also fit an M1 Garand (the M1907 was used extensively with the Garand during World War Two) and was used on Trench Shotguns as well. This sling is maker marked Chicago Belting Company and still retains the inspector’s initials (H.E.) stamped in the leather beneath maker marking. It is undated, as is correct for every Chicago Belting Company sling I have owned. This sling is full length and has never been modified or repaired. The brass claws/claw rivets are tight. Both original sewn keepers are present. The sling has no rips or tears and shows only normal (if that) wear and cracking, particularly given that it is more than a century of age. These slings have become difficult to find, as the repros and fakes greatly outnumber the originals. It is offered as pictured. Overall, a very scarce and desirable maker marked World War One sling that will display well on your rifle.
