Original German WWII Karabiner 98 kurz K98k Leather Sling with Buckle by L & F - Kar98k
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fair condition, totally genuine World War Two German issue leather sling for the Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz (k98k). It is hand sewn, with steel hardware, and made of quality leather. The sling will also work for G/K43 and MP43/44. The sling has a partial break near the buckle and is in rough condition overall.
This is a nice worn example that retains its steel buckle (Klemmstück) but is missing the leather guard, and the blued finish is worn. The buckle pin (Klemmwaltze) is in good condition, and is the wartime production type with smooth ends. The inside of the buckle has the correct textured surface for a more secure length adjustment. The buckle is also maker marked L & F, for Linden & Funke KG of Iserlohn, one of four known subcontractors. The sling end frog (frosch) is correct but is missing the leather cover on the steel due to use and wear. The sliding keeper loop is present, which is often lost over the years.
The leather does have heavy age and some cracking, with a large partial tear, but is still solid. The stitching is mostly solid with some loss as shown.
Overall rough condition, ready to upgrade an original Karabiner 98 kurz rifle. Genuine wartime slings are nearly impossible to find in serviceable condition, don't
let this one pass you by!
