Description: Offered is an original pre-World War One production leather sling manufactured for use with the Springfield Trapdoor rifles, Krag-Jorgensen rifles and early Springfield Model of 1903 rifles. This pre-M1907 sling was manufactured with one brass claw and one brass button/stud. It will fit any 03 rifle but is certainly correct for early 03s, including rod bayonet 03s. This two-piece sling is offered as pictured in original, unmodified condition. There are a couple of tears (one small tear beneath the bottom of the claw and one that runs parallel to the outer edges of the sling and does not cross or weaken the sling). Neither will affect installation of the sling or display (I would never recommend shouldering a rifle with these antique slings). Otherwise, the sling shows only normal wear and cracking, particularly given its age. The sling remains supple and is full length. Overall, a very scarce sling that will display very well on your rifle. Priced very attractively given the issues.
