Original German K98 G43 98K WWII Era Slings

I have had the privilege of inspecting over 50 separate K98 slings over the course of the last few years. Included within these pages are detailed descriptions and pictures of many of the slings I've encountered. My hope is that you will find this site informational. I also hope that I can help you to avoid post war reproductions and other worthless copies!
