Neat...not really rare though. Specially one with that much corrosion on the hardware.

The sling looks like the ones that were on the Greek M1's.

Would make sense. They'd have been given everything on the shelf, I'll bet the FSN is the same for nylon as it is for cotton web.

I have one of those slings. I'm not sure what the white stuff on the metal is but mine has it too. It's a white powder that wipes off. The metal looks fine underneath it but the powder comes back after awhile. It's kind of weird.

It's a sort of verdigris.

nothing rare about it, they were used on M14's as well as M16 rifles. I had a box of them once NOS in wrap

Was issued one of the same slings in Okinawa in '81 to go to the range with. It was on every rifle I qualified with afterwards. Still have it. Cheers, Bruce.
