    Thanks for the link! Ended up picking used original, Sling, Savage Spike Bayonet, Scabbard, and Frog for $26.64 USD includes shipping from a private sale. I'll post pictures when they get here.

    WOW! These pictures are great! On the slings I have been looking at on-line I never saw mfg and date stamps on the brass. Should the originals always have them?

    I don't think so but could someone confirm this, please?

    It would be interesting to see some pictures of a Canadianicon manufactured Le-Enfield rifle sling, showing the markings, that is known to be the genuine article, please.

    Some of the slings available on eBay that are said to "originals" somehow look a bit suspect to me but it can be difficult to tell with some of the reproduction webbing available now because the quality is relatively good.
