I think it's original and I'd probably buy it if it were on a gun show table priced reasonably. The end price here is my only worry.

I agree with Bill, I think there may have been a repair at one time though. The rivets are brass and that seems like they should be steel with the steel frogs. The sling's real though.

Thank you, browningautorifle.
This sling is different brand (Milsco 1944) but rivets seem to be brass or copper with steel frogs anyway.

That particular sling I would take to be a reproduction, but without a closer look I'm not 100% sure. I think it's one of the new ones though. I'm sure one of the others will be along shortly to confirm or deny what I say. Maybe copper or brass IS correct...original...
