U.s.m.c. 1907

According to article this was a USMC issue Model 1907 sling. Reported as being made for the Marine Corp. Differs in having two extra sets of adjustment holes, and keepers have a staple in addition to being sewn.

Other than the extra adjustment holes and staples in the keepers it is identical to other Model 1907 slings. No markings that I can find. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?

I also have one of these unfortunately not as good condition as yours. If I remember correctly they were made in a San Diego saddlery just a small amount. No indication for what use I can imagine possibly for the shooting team. No matter very difficult to find one wish there was more info on them

In the thread on the U.S.M.C. slings there were WWII group photos of Marines with the slings recognizable in the photos by the extra holes.

Will see if I can find it again.
