Can anyone help me with a marking on a Lee Enfield web sling?
It is a khaki/tan sling with brass ends, the marking is `TPL`...
Can`t find anything on this marking.. Help Please!

Hello …

You might want to try our Google CSE custom search engine located in the top right corner below the words "Advanced Search". It only searches our site using Google techniques and can be quite efficient. For example, in your case, type in the words sling tpl mark and see what happens ..

I notice Brian Dick mentioned in one post They were all marked TPL for the tropical treatment done to the canvas ….

Perhaps that's what it means?

Yep, late WWII Canadian production. You can find that marking on Inglis Browning Hi-Power holsters and other Canadian made web gear too.

Thanks, that helps alot.
But what do the letters `TPL` stand for?

TPL=Tropical treatment.
