[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2874620, member: 13284"] The repro sling was a typical cheapie with black painted hardware and a shiney tan painted on finish...exactly like the one below. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_fzL8yPUh.jpg[/IMG] Aging the sling was pretty simple. I just stripped the coating on the finished leather by soaking the sling in isopropyl alcohol. After completely stripping the finish, I dyed the sling with Feibing's tan leather dye, applied two light coats of neatsfoot oil after dry, and finished with Pecard's antique leather dressing. The black paint on the hardware was removed with acetone and the metal was darkened with Birchwood Casey brass black (it leaves a dull gray finish on steel). The buckle was already oxidized under the paint which helped out a ton with the aged look.
