Custom Leather 'Sport/Target' Sling

[fiocchi]

Brand new sport/target sling. Perfect copy/replica of the original Parker Hale sport/target sling. Made with highest quality Italian saddle leather and brass hardware by a specialist saddler in Scotland. Designed to be used as a standard sling, but you may insert your front arm through the loop and tighten to your upper arm with the capture leather rings very quickly indeed.

Had a few made, this one is surplus to my needs, sojust looking to recoup the production cost - £75 plus postage to your location. payment by bank/wire transfer.

located in the United Kingdom.

Good looking sling. What would AVERAGE postage to the USA cost?

No one asked for my opinion, BUT you're going to get it. I think Jerome has discussed entries such as @BeeMaa and has noted such is outside the guidelines.

BeeMaa, leave folk sales posts alone, don’t introduce class competitors to the mix, especially in absolute terms. You’re deliberately stepping on his feet, start your own post. Scorn rightfully earned.

To get analytic about USA leather makes, I’ve got custom Murray’s, I’ve got production Galco, I’ve got numerous exquisite boot and saddle maker made slings, leather handmade fly cases with carry straps, I’ve got custom knife sheaths, custom pistol rug cases w straps.. all proudly USA... I make my own leather belts. I’ve gotten Murray’s 20+ years ago - if he’s doing such rough work now I think he’s slipping, there’s zero edge work including none to the keeper (at least edges were skivved/beveled)The hardware and cut look good, but I’m surprised there wasn’t a touch of burnish anywhere. I don’t think that’s a design feature, non treatment to the verso of the strap makes perfect sense, but the aesthetic is off and in leather good work speaks to inattention. Saving time. Then again maybe it was purposeful. Maybe the ROC got his stamp made and it’s a knock-off. His work I’ve got and seen is well burnished. The Fiocchi Scottish sling appears well done. Congrats to Rare Breed, the seller and Scot.

No offense to Taiwan, I intended “PRC”!
