another FAKE k98k sling encounterd on ebay! look!

[us1945]

This sling is 1000% a repro..(a very nice one)


see ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW



I had 1000 original German slings in my hands,,,and beleve me this is a faker!!!!



stitches are not correct, leather is made old by saltwater or so, leather anyway is not good, further wrong machinery on buckle,,,buckle leather is also not right...so isn`t the marking!

I knew that they were comming..soon!



see my website on original German ww2 slings:

I hope this helps

I agree !

Dear Tom,

Du hast so recht !

I hate the leatherwork, it looks 'aged' but not old. I feel that the cross-hatching on the leatherwork runs over the bands and I don't like that and also the stichiing looks VERY eastern europe to me ! Its very white and course and large ! I can buy originals for 35 euros plus postage !

More rubbish !

Hey

Jawohl,,Ich habe recht


35e...+postage...I think they are fake also,,because an original sling could be hardly find in big quantity`s,,,

we I had luck with the 2000....and 500 more to come..

So how come some slings have maker marks while others don't?

[us1945]

Hi

There are many different maker marks,,,have see about 100 different markes and styles and combinations.

so don`t look to marks,,,just to the sling.,.and then the marks

One thing for sure,,those slings are postwar made! I have real slings..


best regards Tom
