Here's some hard to find/scarce/rare, sword and rifle slings I have.
I've been collecting militia since Abe Lincoln was a little boy, well maybe not quite that long, but certainly a lot of years. And during those years when ever I bought a gun, sword or uniform I try to find the proper accouterments or equipment that goes with them like the slings etc.
Some of the items are scarce and took years to find but eventually did while others are common and over the years I've managed to obtain enough of these items to complete or compliment 99% of the guns, swords or uniforms I have in my collection. The other day, I took a mental inventory of some of the rarer ones and not so common ones I had managed to gather over the years and being retired and nothing better to do, thought I'd post them here for something to do.
First I'll start with only the slings for the guns and swords. Some of these slings are pretty scarce and/or uncommon.
Please ask any questions you might have on any of the items. All are original.
So here we go ...
1, A 1859 Stuarts sword sling, only 500 made.
2, A excl condt. scarce M1923 canvas sling maker marked and dated 1942"..
3, An early T-30 Japanese sling with an aluminum buckle
Almost forgot. I have a couple of Winchester 1895 slings. These Win 95 slings are really rare to find. The first one was made for the Russian contract 95 rifle and is a bit less quality then the earlier one below which was made for the US Winchester Lee Navy and 95 musket.
Wow.. I was wondering where you got the info on that "J.E.B. Stuart" Sword Hanger? I am doing a little research on this piece as I just dug one up in an area that had some Civil War Activity. No battle but some activity.. Interested of coarse in that you said there was only 500 made? I would like to know more...
