Here are the snap hooks that are original to my Alexander Henry .577 BPE double. I also have the original leather, but the stitching had decayed to where it had no strength. The leather you see here is modern and not original.

I would have posted this a couple of days ago with my other photo, but I had misplaced the sling and hardware. It took a major search and rescue operation to find it.

It's plain to see, the ones being offered by Mike Rowe are spot on. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to fit out a sling properly.

I might add, this isn't the greatest means of attaching a sling to a double rifle. It's noisy as hell, with the hooks grating in the eyes. Nevertheless, it is "proper" so we should do it and not complain.

Mike, the Woodward sling and hardware is really intricate with the leather covering. I thought you might like seeing that.

VaGrouser, I thought you might like seeing these original A. Henry snaps so you would know how very close Mike's are to the originals. His are probably made to more exacting tolerances. You need them for your .450 BPE. If I didn't have these originals I would be next in line.
