In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Standard issue WW1-WW2 1907 pattern sling used on the 1903 Springfield Rifle, 1917 Enfield Rifle, and the M1 Garand Rifle. This model of sling saw decades of service and is likely the most easily recognizable sling for any U.S. rifle.
Condition of the leather is rough overall with some heavy rubbing of the finish and cracking in the leather. There are some weak spots but it should still sit fine on a rifle for display. Adjustment holes are the worst areas for this damage, so if being affixed to a rifle, be very careful and choose adjustment holes that are not as weak. The sling is very faintly stamped HARVEY WHEELE / 1917, meaning the sling saw service in both world wars!
This is an M1907 WWI/WWII Leather Sling in overall fair condition. This was the standard U.S. service rifle sling at the time of the adoption of the M1917 Enfield rifle. was the M1907 leather sling used with the M1903 Springfield. The M1907 Sling was adopted for use with the M1 Garand rifle in 1936. The M1907 Sling was used throughout WWII with the "M1" rifle. The adjustment hooks and hardware on early M1907 Slings were made of brass, while the later WWII examples had steel hardware. The M1907 Sling was also utilized with the Winchester M1897 Trench Gun during WWI and on all WWII Winchester, Stevens, Ithaca, etc trench guns and riot guns equipped with slings.
A very nice sling to add to one of several U.S. service rifles. A great piece ready for display! Measures about 25½” when in the proper configuration.
