M1907 sling dates/production

**jarrodeu** · 03-08-2011 12:15 PM

Were there any M1907 slings produced and dated after WWI but before WWII?
When did WWII production of M1907 slings start, 1941 or 42?

Thanks,
Jarrod

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I have not seen any dates on a M1907 leather sling after WWI. They started with the WWII production in 1941. The frogs were brass but changed to steel due to the need of brass for ammunition.

Will have to have a look, but I am 100% sure I have seen WW2 dated M1907 slings!

Boyt, Milsco, and Hickok all made WW2 Model 1907 slings with date stamps on them. But I can't recall ever seeing one dated 1941.
