Offered here is a genuine U.S. Army WWII-era M1 Garand rifle sling from the respected Canfield Collection. This is the classic OD (olive drab) green canvas sling fitted with the sought-after “flat buckle” hardware, a correct wartime pattern used extensively by American troops during the Second World War. These flat buckle slings were a standard issue for M1 Garand rifles starting in the early 1940s and are characterized by their stamped, parkerized steel hardware featuring flat, rectangular adjustment clamps and simple keepers. The example here remains in solid, serviceable condition with minor age-related wear and surface oxidation on the hardware, consistent with field use and storage. The canvas retains its olive drab color with just the right patina, a testament to its authenticity and period use. Original M1 Garand slings are increasingly hard to find in complete and untouched condition, and this one is a fine representative of its type. Whether you're restoring a wartime M1 Garand or enhancing a U.S. military display, this original WWII sling will add historical accuracy and collector value.
