Compare these two slings and laugh

[Faulkner]

I emailed the seller about 3 weeks ago and told him they were repros. he told me he found a crate full of them with english writing on it so they had to be real.

I wonder what it said in English . . . "These are reproductions"

We have seen this joke before. A great in detailed story with no proof. Actually most of the claims go against known facts.

Here is an original Pre Mid 1943 Khaki Sling. At the time of this posting it still has 6 more days to go and is already over $52.00. My guess is it will end up in the $125.00 dollar range or more.

That was funny Bill. The seller is still selling them as 'real' and newer carbine owners are buying them trusting the ad.
Here's the slings next to each other - Heck, they look almost identical don't they!

The top POS fake sling sold for $40 and the authentic early khaki sling only sold for $67.
So many eBay buyers don't know what they're looking at and it's sad. (I wish I could have won the khaki sling for $67!)
