Bought a couple of the below commercial reproduction slings to use with my No 4 rifles. At an upcoming gunshow I may look for genuine examples, although the repros do the job perfectly well and they seem well executed.

A friend of mine frowns on this type of commercial copy. He mentioned that the fake (as he terms it) with it's markings could be pedalled as a genuine sling to an unsuspecting buyer.

I never gave it much thought, as I'm sure that the repro market caters to the reinactor crowd in a major way. Is there much heartburn over the "copy vs genuine item" angle?
