Product Description
 
Exact reproduction of the slings issued with the later "Type 2" FG42 (Fallschirmjägergewehr) rifle. (These are sometimes called the Type F or G models).

This sling is essentially a modified rifle sling fitted with the snap hook from the MG34/42 straps. Our slings are not the luscious painted water buffalo gems offered elsewhere- these are made with exact reproduction German sling hardware and European leather, embossed with the proper cross hatch pattern.

Yes, I was able to copy an original FG sling- a friend of mine who owns several of these rifles was kind enough to bring several slings to a show for me to examine, measure and photograph. Like all things German WWII, there are minor variances between them. We omitted the keeper as most originals (including the 3 I handled) do not have them.

Stamped "gyb 1943" with the correct WA. This is the code for Bauer, Wilhelm, Friedr., GmbH, Lederwarenfabrick, Offenbach. They are a common manufacturer of MG slings- none of the original FG42 slings I have examined had legible maker marks.

The Type 2 slings are 24mm wide x 120cm long.

Made in USA (Hand stitching done overseas)
