M1 Garand Model 1907 Web Rifle Sling | eBay
seems like an awful lot of money
Yes, they're scarce but yes, that's a lot of money...it IS nice though.
Sounds like a typical antique dealer: "I don't know anything about it but I'll take $495!"
I believe that is sort of spin off of a M1943 sling??? Looks like a reproduction too. The weave just isn't right to me. Never have I seen a web M1907.

I've seen them just not in my hands, that M1923 was less than handy they said. Thus it didn't survive...Quote:

I think the consensus of opinion is that the sling is a fantasy item. Every one that I have seen was in unissued condition. The colors will vary slightly.
Hayes Otoupalik had a case of these but for a BAR . I bought one . They were $25 IIRC. The military wanted a web sling to replace the need for leather . Made prob'ly between wars as there was a BAR version , but not adopted . I don't think I've ever seen one in a period photo .
