    I agree with Painter; not real. One of the biggest giveaways on repop slings is the edge. Most of the repops have what is referred to as a selvedge edge. That is the narrow band of a different weave on both edges. Original slings have a uniform weave all the way across the sling. There are some other details that I won't go into right now that are used for spotting other repros.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
