Sling/strap harware for MG34/MG42

Nachtjager45 · 05-02-2009, 02:01 AM

Hello, I`m thinking of making my own slings for MG34/42 and carrying straps the Lafette(tripod)34/42. What I need is original steel hardware for these slings and I know that these are sometimes found under ground in Russia and other "Eastern front" countries. I only need the hardware and not the complete leather sling

I would be very interested in these if someone has any for sale!

Picture of the hardware found on the MG34/MG42 sling:

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hi, they are inexpensive as it is why make your own? Personal satisfaction must be your motive?

rgds, Ty

German slings are quite rare and expencive here in Norway, and the lafette carriyng straps are extra rare as they were mostly destroyed by the Norwegian army after the war..

Hello from Paris! Do you want to make the slings or buy original slings? I have a pair of good ones for Lafette.
