I specialise in making military specification US M1907 leather slings. These are ideal for the M1903 Springfield series of rifles, as well as the US issued M1917 (the US version of the British P.14) & the WW2 issued M1 Garand. The M1907 sling was also part of the C.E.S. (Complete Equipment Schedule) for the WW2 British No.4(T) sniper rifle Unlike the cheap Chinese copies currently flooding the market, my slings use the correct 10-oz weight of vegetable tanned leather, correct blackened brass fittings & are fully hand-sewn throughout - including two hand-sewn keepers. These slings have sold very well over the last 5 years or so, with many repeat orders from customers at Bisley as well as WW2 Re-enactors They are marked with a "R.I.A. 1942 JM" stamp (pic below): as this looks like a WW2 maker mark but was designed by myself to give the slings a contemporary feel, yet be obvious to collectors that the slings are not of WW2 vintage. I can also mark slings with a similar stamp dated 1918 £55 each Currently out of stock of the metal hooks & D-rings....will update this once they come back into stock Image from a WW2 Field Manual on the M1903 Rifle, showing M1907 sling layout & part names "RIA 1942 JM" sling mark Detail of "castle" sewing on short strap near "D" ring |
