Description
This is an original Japanese sling buckle and leather tab designed for use with the Arisaka Type 99 and Type 38 rifles. Constructed of metal with a sturdy finish, the buckle was fitted to the leather rifle sling to provide adjustment and secure attachment. The accompanying leather tab shows period age and wear, consistent with use in WWII service.
Arisaka slings and hardware are scarce today, as many were lost or discarded after the war. This example remains a solid, collectible piece of WWII Japanese militaria and a perfect addition for completing an Arisaka rifle setup.
