Genuine Sling?

**Singer B** · 09-25-2022 05:28 PM

I am looking for your help. I picked up a series 34 Toyo Kogyo yesterday. I lucked out and it is an all-matching gun with a complete mum. The extra bonus may be the sling. It has an M1 icon

carbine sling attached that has obviously been on the rifle for a very long time. I am hoping it is an original so I can restore it and swap out the reproduction sling on my Standard Products rifle. Thanks!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Sling looks good to me, what does the inside of the female snap look like?

Definitely been on that Arisaka icon

for awhile. There are no markings on it. Other than light brushing of the metallic and a light application of oil, any recommendations for rehabbing the webbing? Thanks!

That is all I do with my slings. I generally leave the webbing alone.

Looks like the genuine article to me too. I reinforce the worn area at the swivels with matching thread and "fill the gap" so the sling swivel has new thread to wear against. That preserves the original webbing.
