Just finished working on 15 slings I bought as a bit of a pig in a poke. About half were dyed or painted and about a third are longer, presumably Bren slings. All unmarked on the brass.

I tried a bath of Rit Color Remover and it took some of the color out, but not nearly enough. My blue/black slings are mainly still blue/black though one looks like it has a disease of some kind as it's a bit blotchier now.

Working on the rust stains next........
