Sling Example 19 Frosch
(sling holder) stamped with an "L.S. Fkw 1938". Plenty of cracks
and gouges though quite structurally sound. This one was fairly ugly.
Ricasso or hatched pattern somewhat weak at around 15%. Minor stretching
around first two button holes Leather on underside near buckle
stamped with something but I can't make it out..."193?".

Sling Example 31
Frosch stamped with "L.S. Fkw 1938" Ricasso or hatched pattern one
is visible throughout but weak in some areas. Quite structurally strong
with nice thick leather. Stitching on buckle missing part of threading.
The is the second one I have seen like this so I am beginning to wonder
if this one was made that way. There does not seem to be any remaining
evidence of middle stitching. |
