Original leather sling on my Vergueiro - Portuguese Mauser


With the help of Brian from Bryburn Trading Co Pty Ltd, an Australian (St. Peters, New South Wales) vintage "militaria collectable" dealer,  I managed to get hold of one original Portuguese Mauser Vergueiro leather sling (originated from the units that Portugal sold to Brazil) - complete with all the original brass elements (buckle and button) and the leather loop holder. Now my +100 years old piece of working history is complete - and all original.
