Original Item: Only One Available. This is totally original German WWII manufacture, and was taken off an MP 40 in the 1980’s from a Government Sale of Machine Guns. Complete and absolutely original.
The sling is still a bit dusty from storage at IMA for over 30 years. The ghost of a Waffenamt marking can still be easily seen on the inside of the sling, directly behind the sewn on steel buckle assembly. Complete with just TWO holes to the other end of the sling with its original steel “collar button” in place. Original cross hatching is still visible in ares on the sling. Leather “scratch guard” on the buckle is still intact.
This is a highly desirable accessory for any original MP40 display gun or parts set, which now command quite a price on the market.
Just needs a good cleaning and it will be ready to Display.
