Introduced in 1907, this leather sling remained standard US Army issue for an unusually long stretch of service, equipping troops through the First World War on the M1903 Springfield and continuing into the Second World War on the M1 Garand, even as webbing alternatives were developed alongside it. Its two-piece leather construction, with a long and short strap each carrying precisely spaced holes, let soldiers quickly reconfigure it between a simple carrying sling and a taut shooting loop wrapped around the supporting arm for improved accuracy. This reproduction recreates that design in genuine leather with brass hardware.
M1907 Leather Rifle Sling, Brass Hardware
The M1907 sling was the standard-issue leather rifle sling of the US Army through both World Wars, used on the M1903 Springfield and later the M1 Garand. Its two-strap design, with precisely spaced adjustment holes, let a soldier configure it for simple carry or loop it around the supporting arm for a steadier firing position. This reproduction is worked in genuine leather with brass hardware, recreating that long-serving design.

Roman Baldric, Military Shoulder Belt
SKU: AH3869A baldric is a belt worn diagonally over one shoulder rather than around the waist, historically used to carry a sword or other equipment across the body. Roman soldiers commonly wore their sword, the gladius, suspended from a baldric of this kind, distinct from the waist-worn cingulum that carried the dagger and marked rank.
