NZ marked sling...too good to be true?

[Strangely Brown]

And put back the WW1 dated examples as they didn't interest me!!!

P37 slings, £1.50.

The 1960's in Brighton Sx had similar experiences for me; although being the pedant that I am, rifle slings never had a pattern number attached to them, they were always, "Slings, Webbing, Rifle." up until (I assume) the advent of the SA80 era?

Good point Mick, what pattern are the Canvas slings, appearing in 1916 'ish', I would suppose an extension of 1907 pattern??

Not really my field of expertise but I believe the webbing style was accepted into service in 1907 but officially bears the pattern date & number of 08.
