This is a reproduction Austrian Mannlicher m95 rifle sling that is made like the original in unaltered natural leather. The soldiers would be issued gear in natural leather and then it would gain various tones of color with use and weathering. The item is made here in the Czech Republic of top quality leather and is well put together. Thee is also a period style maker stamp. It is only $12.00 to ship this item anywhere in the US, Canada, Australia. NZ. and most of Asia and $9.50 within Europe. I take PAYPAL, other payment options are also available, just ask and I will see what I can do.  Total open length is 103 cm, 44.5".   ****This is for the full-lenght rifle, not the carbine. You will have to pass the buckle end of the sling through the bottom sling loop on the rifle and then pass the buckle end through the leather loop to finally loop the buckle end to the front sling loop. MAKE SURE that the bottom sling loop on your rifle is at least 4 cm (1 1/2") wide and 13mm (1/2") high inside the loop or the sling will not pass. You have to be certain that that opening is the proper size before buying the sling since I will not be responsible if for the sling not fitting if you did not make such a verification.
