Looking for this exact type of large eye sling mount for my barrel. Hopefully someone can help me out with this. Thank you.

Have you looked at NECG they have some on their site that may work or could be made to work.
 
That looks like it may have been intended for a leather boot lace or some such.

Yes actually you are correct. Slings used back in the early 1900’s were sometimes tied on using leather strips. I’m in the process of building a rifle and I am collecting period correct hardware.

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
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
