It is a Chinese produced sling for the Type 38. They acquired a bunch after WWII and produced them for such. Not really correct but the closest I got. At the time I assumed it was Japaneseicon. As this was my 6.5 Japanese range gun, probably for the best as it got some wear. The rifle already had enough to not even show any additional wear. In fact, as I stated in my first post, it got much cleaner from is range time and end of shoot treatment. Thanks for the replies to all.
