Unknown Band pictures by fdauro - Photobucket

I'm running this also on the CMPicon forum in case some folks don't read both forums.

This band came from a fellow in Englandicon who took it off a carbine that had been deactivated so that they could legally own them. He doesn't know where the carbines came from, but his has an RRA arsenal stamp. He and I have exchanged a few small parts and he sent this to me to see if anyone could identify its origin.

Might this band have been something US made long ago? Could it have been a prototype GI? Or was it made, more likely, in Europe by some country who were given a lot of carbines and didn't want, or wern't allowed, to have bayonet bands?

What thoughts do you folks have?
