Replica sling for the German Army Mauser 71 or 71/84 rifle. This sling fits either the 1871 or 71/84 rifles and was made for both because the sling swivels are the same distance apart. Made exactly like the original design per Paul Pietsch's book on Prussian equipment. A copy of the regulations and drawings of the sling are included with every sling. The sling is made of heavy brown leather with natural linen stitching just like the original. I have the hardware specially made to conform with the original hardware. All of the slings are dyed and hand stitched in the German pattern by me. Original slings are impossible to find and would sell for well over $150. I have seen my slings being sold as original on 71/84 rifles at gun shows. I have been making these slings fo over 25 years. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. For more information . I also make slings for the Kar.71, Gew.88, Kar.88, Gew.98, Kar98b, Kar98AZ, KKW and DSM. The sling is pictured above on the 71/84 but it fits perfectly on the IG71.
