'AzMedic': It would be interesting to know the length of your original sling. Also, your intended use for a reproduction sling: (Display, Shooting, Reenacting)?

(FWIW - I do not to leave slings on my rifles. In time, it is not good for the sling or the rifle. The leather seems to breakdown where it is 'folded' and metal can react to tanning chemicals).

Some original and reproduction model 1887 Slings are spliced (an original practice due to recycling CW slings). Some of these slings run as long as 72", which works on a Trapdoor Springfield, but, it is too long on a Krag and can not be made taught.

The model 1887 Slings, intended for the Krag, were around 66 1/2 inches long.

Mallory also describes a model 1903 Sling, made for the Krag, that was less bulky and approximately 48 inches long.

Krag slings were intended mainly as 'carry straps'. There was some improvisation done, around 1903, to use them as a shooting aid. The 1903-Springfield's model 1907 Sling was made to assist Position Shooting. It works well on a Krag.

I have picked up several reproduction Slings on ebay that were inexpensive. I do not know who or where they were made. They are decent and serve my purposes. In time, they will look authentic. S&S Firearms may be a good source for a repro. Be aware of the actual total length.

Two photos showing reproductions, makers unknown:
1. A (72 inch) model 1887 sling on a Krag. It is put on properly, but, even at its shortest adjustment, it is too long for the Krag. 
2. A (66 inch) model 1887 sling. It is shown unconventionally, but, as utilized by the 1903 Army Team at the National Matches for Target Shooting.
