Curt, that shouldn't be a problem since shipping is not a problem. Let me know which Thompson parts you're looking for, I'm sure I can locate some!
Bill, I'll try to find markings. However, I do not want to put them out of the original wrapping and then be unable to put them back. I'll let you know.
Promo: I appreciate any help.
The slings are stored in a circle. I opened many of them years ago. It is easy to get them back in the circle. Sometimes the slings are attached to each other with one's fastener attached to anyothe's slug, in a circle.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

Is that part of the Gas Cylinder Repair Kit?
Also curious if you've unwrapped those slings yet?
Cheers,

Absolutely no plan what this part should be :) . I'm new to M1 Carbines.
No, haven't unwrapped the slings yet, since I did not have the need to (and I'm not sure if I can get them back properly). I offered Bill Ricca to make an offer and sell him the whole lot, but haven't received any answer to this.
Pulling out the parts today I also found a M1 sling I've recently purchased. Took a closer look, and it was somehow interesting that the sling bears German markings. See the pictures, "Zieh hier" would mean "Pull here" in English.
On which carbines would those have been used?
Some carbines were used by the Germans after re-arming after capitulation. They made their share of equipment to issue along with them. Bayonets and slings are just the tip. They also re-did the back sight to a notch on the receiver ring...for example...
The Zieh Hier is German and says "Accused Here" Literal but probably "push"???
According to Google translate it's pull here...
