M1907 Sling

Nice find, and enough for three slings, thank you - it is certainly an option.

I get Moore Leather to do all my leatherwork.

Very good work and he knows his stuff.

Can anyone recommend a good UK source for an M1907 sling with sewn keepers. Reproduction is fine but it needs to be a faithful reproduction but without the original stamps and numbers on it.

Not UK, but i got this from the states , its an original 1907 which is dated 1918 and it lives on my M1917, id say a newish sling loop has been added at some stage, rest great.

I made myself this one from info and pictures I found on the net I think its a pattern 14 , best thing is no metal parts required

STOP THE PRESSES the above sling is as i have,£15 from the welsh arms stall at the nationals trade show last year. i soaked mine in used motor oil for 3 months to give it a aged affect,call em up,they had one on their table at the phoenix.

That is a good price, I had one on my SMLE and I think it was around 25 quid and that was a while ago. How did you dry the oil out of the sling after it had been soaked?

i hung it in the shed,over a cardboard box! and gently with surgical gloves tissued off the oil,then more vigorously with some rags.
