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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
