I'm looking for a web sling as they were made in the 1950s for parks rifles and other guns. It will be a very wide canvas web sling with the tab ends sewn to fish hook type swivels. I've had a gun for years that calls for this particular setup and I'd love a period piece. Usually, people cut the swivels fishooks off and sell them to unsuspecting winchester fans as "authentic winchester". I'd love to find the original item.

The fish hook swivels were made by Parker Hale for about everyone in the business. They came with Lee Speeds, Cogswell & Harrison rifles, Enfield sporters, and all of the lower to mid-tier birmingham trade rifles.

I'd be in someone's debt if they have one to sell. (or trade if you like barter for vintage odd gun stuff)

My Cogswell & Harrison .375 (a 1951 model) has the wide sling eyes that were meant to work with these fishhook swivels and web sling and I'd like to have the correct original style product again.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
