Swedish M96 M38 Brown Leather Rifle Sling

The Swedish M96 M38 Brown Leather Rifle Sling is a standard accessory originally issued for use with the Swedish Mauser Model 1896 (M96) and Model 1938 (M38) military rifles. Manufactured from durable brown leather, this sling features metal hardware, including an adjustment buckle and button-stud closure, enabling users to securely attach and adjust the sling to their preference. It measures approximately 47-48 inches in length and about 1 inch in width, dimensions that are consistent with Swedish military specifications. The brown leather construction provides both functional support and period-correct appearance for collectors and reenactors. This sling was widely used by Swedish armed forces throughout the 20th century for carrying and stabilizing the rifle during field operations. Original slings may display varying degrees of wear, surface markings, or manufacturing stamps identifying the depot or year of production. The item serves as an authentic accessory for Swedish Mauser rifles and similar period firearms.
