Need Help Finding A Collae Swivel

[JET4]

Hey all,

I originally posted this over in "suppliers" but thought I'd post it here too.

I have a customer who wants a blood tracking collar with a swivel attachment like the one in the picture. I have looked in the Weaver and Ohio Travel Bag catalog but didn't see this one. Does anyone have an idea where to find this?

Thanks

Those swivel rings are hard to find, but I know they are made by Sprenger, Germany, www.sprenger.de. I have no idea if anybody sells hardware from Sprenger in the US ??

I bought a couple via a friend who has a dog sport business, after searching for them for a couple of years. I used it on a tracking collar for my Bavarian Blood tracking dog.

For what it´s worth / Knut

You get them from Sprenger in Germany, here is their catalog, page 12 of the pdf, item 7.

Boy you should have seen the catalog when it was only in German.

Aaron, not sure those would work. I think I may have found a suitable alternative though.

Art, you are correct. With Oldtimer's post above I found them on the Sprenger website. I emailed Sprenger directly and they gave me a contact for a US distributer. The US distributer does not stock them, but can get them. The smaller 17 mm is a little over 9 dollar a piece and the next size is over 10 a piece. That's not bad, but I would be required to buy a whole box of 50.

Thanks for the help guys:You_Rock_Emoticon:
