Has anyone got something that looks vaguely like one of these or alternatively can someone point me in the direction of something very close to these.
I just need one please.

I've got quite a few of them---what size do you want?

Sorry: I have several which are 3/4" but nothing approaching 1.25".

OK, not to worry and thank you for checking.
3/4" is quite narrow, do you know what they were used for?

All the swivels in your picture appear to be continental where, for some reason, narrow slings were popular. British shooting has always had links with the military and military slings were wide. I have a couple of old German hunting rifles which have slings such as the ones in your picture.

Fred, I think they are probably USA issue and I suspect from a US Service rifle of some sort, I am after a sling for a 1967 P/A shotgun that I wish to fit a periodish (M1) sling to.
