Care for World War II Garand Sling

[TMB]

Whats the value of a Garand scabbard. I have a U.S. S FROEHLICH 1943 marked one I got with a Model 81 Remington 300 sav I bought some years ago.

I used the antique leather conditioner. It is also very sensibly priced and they sent a free container of boot oil with it.

Thanks, I'll post before/after pics when I am finished.

BlackRock Leather treatment,,, This stuff will blow your mind. I rub it on and wait about a hour and rub the excess off. I just put it on my Artillery Luger leather. Unlike many of the others it doesn't start to break the leather down. I have tried many of the others over the past 10 years and this is the best. Dogboysdad turned me onto it. Rick B

Well the one I purchased recently is completely intact, leather in good shape, obviously old and uncared for, but no rips, tears or damage. It cost me around $70.

Nice Arty rig, Rick! You need my nephew Ed Sayre's book on the snail drum and Artillery Luger accessories. I completed it after his untimely death, and Mowbray published it.

Thanks for info you got a good deal that cheaper than a repro. I paid around $300 for mine 6 or 7 years ago it came with a model 81 Reminton in it.

Thanks, mine did not come with a rifle in it.

I was just saying model 81 fits too. I gotta repro for $90 thought an original would be valued higher and that you got a good deal for $70.
