MODEL 1907 RIFLE SLING – EXCELLENT CONDITION,
LEGIBLE MAKER’S STAMP, DATED 1918: Of the
pattern issued with the Model 1903 Springfield Rifles
and the Model 1917 Enfield Rifles, and manufactured
contemporary to the First World War, this russet leather
sling is complete and full length with all the
components.
This Model 1907 Rifle Sling
retains its light russet leather color and smooth even
finish with only minor flexing and no crazing or
flaking. The leather is very flexible with no hardening
and the leather is not oil soaked as so many of these
slings are. The sling is stamped just behind the brass
tip with a fully legible maker’s mark,
“HOYT”
and dated 1918. Full
length with all the brass furniture and both sliding
leather keepers, this is very nice example that would
display well on a rifle in very good to excellent
condition. SOLD
