Help- long Bren sling with 1941 date?
I’ve just received a NOS single-hook Bren sling and I’m puzzled by the markings.
It’s 54” long, without the hook, from the tip of one metal end to the other. The markings are “B.H.&G. LD. 1941 [broad arrow]”.
I’ve read the thread with the list of equipment changes, and it says that one-piece slings weren’t produced until 1944.
Am I misunderstanding that list, misreading the stamp, or could it in fact be just an extra long rifle sling instead of Bren?
