I would if I still had them. They "left the building" years ago. Plus, my memory could be failing me re: Hickok slings being dated or not.

I'm in the process of negotiating a deal on a garand and I didn't notice a manufacture on the leather sling. If the deal goes through, I'll post pictures of the sling to help with the ID.
Thanks for all the info so far.

We'll need a complete expose on the gun too...of course...

Here some pictures of the sling.
I can not find any markings on it. It's very worn with a lot of cracking.

Well, seems a couple of your pics didn't get attached. If the sling was dressed, you still might be able to make out some markings.

Hope these go through.
So would this sling be WW2 vintage?

Those are the ones that went through the last time. Yes, steel frogs should be a WW2 sling.

Here are few quick pictures of my latest purchase.
Seems to be a correct May of 1944. Tear down shows all items to be correct for the time frame
All items in the pictures came with.
Ammo can and En-blocs are WW2 along with the 1943 Ammo.
