Which type of mauser 98k sling did Israel use first?

[avroe]

From what i've found (and please correct me if im totally wrong, as I could very well be) it seems that Israel used two different types of slings on the german mauser 98k's they bought refurbed after the war.

Some seem to have have cross hatched patterns on them, while others seem to have brass slides.

Can anyone confirm which type of sling they would have originally used with these German 98ks?

I realize the very first ones were likely just nazi ones re-used and sold to them, but i'm wondering which slings Israel itself produced first for these firearms, as im sure the german post war stock didnt last long.

Thanks for the help.

All of the Israeli slings I've seen had Israeli marking on the metal. I would guess the post-war stock lasted a long while. The Israeli's took good care of their equipment.

Might anyone be able to post a photo of what these israeli markings on the metal of the slings look like?
