    U. S. leather slings, some dating from WW1 period

    I have had these slings for quite a long time and believe they are originals - but also would welcome any opinions

    Thanks Robert

    The slings with a date and a 3-letter inspector's initial are military issue. Absence of these markings indicates a probable commercial sling.
