The steel "frogs" were implemented in late 1942 early 1943. But some manufactures has brass frogs in the system and completed the sling they had started. So you may find a 1943 dated sling with brass frogs.

Mr. Bruce,

They are ribbing you a bit. I thought is was during WWI, but I know squat about slings. Either Brophy or Campbell has the answer.

Hi Jim,
I can take it, 'cause I do have a bit of a Southern Drawl. I just didn't realize it came through in my posting.

You might give Turner Slings a buzz. The owner is very interested in slings and a good guy. Note: he is very busy.

[RBruce]

I have a Turner sling - they're excellent!

[Johnny Peppers]

You will find 1942 dated Boyt slings with either brass or steel. Brass quickly became a strategic metal, and substitutes were found, even for the lowly 1¢ piece.

Thanks all. I was trying to determine what the correct sling would be for a Remington 1903 made in 1941.
