No. 4 Mk.1 (T) Experimental web sling DD (E) 3543 need information please.

[teltec01]

I recently purchased 'An Armourer's Perspective' by Peter Laidler with Ian Skennerton, on page 42 is a very interesting article detailing an experimental web sling for a Mk.4 No. 1 (T). Even though I have the original leather sling for the rifle I'm intrigued by the adjustable web sling and I would like to purchase one, although I assume it would be very difficult to locate one.

If I can't find an original web sling I thought it might be possible to build one using an original Bren Gun sling, but I need to purchase some original brass parts, namely a brass slider and a brass link to join the short length sling to the long one. If anyone could supply these parts or know of a source where I could by them I would be very grateful.

I hope it's ok to post the images from the book as I thought they might be useful for illustration purposes , if there is any objections I will of course remove the images immediately.

Thanks for any help that you can provide....

Gerry
