  • Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great genuine U.S. M1887 sling. Constructed as a two piece sling - not the stitched 2 piece type- with brass double claw hook on one end and a brass stud button on the other. There are two leather keeper loops. These were designed for the Springfield Trapdoor or Krag rifles.


    Condition of leather is fair and brown, has stiffened a bit over time, complete with heavy stitching, proper adjustment holes and correct pattern double brass hook. There is some heavy rubbing of the finish as shown. There is a very faint marking on one side, ROCK, which is clearly a partial marking for ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, a great marking to find.


    Some cracking is evident with heavy staining in spots but overall functional and serviceable. An excellent upgrade for any Springfield Trapdoor or Krag rifle!
