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.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
