Description
7/11/19 – This is an original leather strap for a K98 rifle manufactured just prior to the start of WWII. The strap or buckle is not marked, but these very early slings were produced by¬Otto Koberstein. The¬serrated locking pin on the buckle are some of the earlisest designs, which began in 1935. By 1938, they were using the smooth sided locking pins.¬The leather is soft with some wrinkling,¬but completely in tact. Some of the original herringbone texture is still visible on the exterior, but the brown¬leather dye is worn off in some areas.¬The stitching is all original as well without issues. Guaranteed original.¬
