    Question

    Is the sling an original WWII vintage? It looks like the real deal but the condition almost seems too nice.

    I have a similar late 1943 Smith Corona 1903A3 and have been searching for a sling for it without luck so far.

    Yes Sir, it is in fact a WW2 Milsco 1944 vintage sling. It is in very good shape, with the exception of a small mouse bite mark.
    M1911A1- An American Classic!

    Interested in buying WW2 era m1911a1 parts, accesories and field gear.
