    I should have clarified. The C1 sling swivel is wider than the civilian swivels that I have. I'm new at this I can't post a pic as they are asking for a "URL"
    What is a URL?
    I'll attempt to discribe this sling;
    Olive drab in color Maybe a canvass the ends are pressed glue? The sling material is 1 1/4 " wide;(Just a bit too wide for my Civvy sling swivels.)
    Buckles are olive drab and plastic.
    One side of the sling has a soldier's name with his last three of his S.I.N. in black marker (that was standard in the line regts.)
    Hope this helps.
    I know it's a C1 sling as I used them when I served in the Airborne Infantry PPCLI, 3 mech Cdo. and later in the armoured Regts. Strathconas, 8th Hussars and RCDs
    I've also seen slings issued with brass buckles but painted green for the field.
