I have seen a few of those bands, both on rifles and in someones parts box.
Sorry, But that sling band is Not native to that rifle! That type band was never used by the Germans durring production of the K98kicon rifles. As I said it is either a Bulgarian or Rumanian post war modification.
As there is no number showing I presume it is on the other side. Since I can't see it I don't know if it is a restamp on a new made band or the original nr and the sling loop was modified.
