Are you saying that these stamps are on both leather lengths/sections of the sling, in that one stamp is on the long leather sling length and one on the short section or are they on both on only one section? If on both, it means the leather sections may be from two different slings.
I have to admit that I was getting confused between your posts and the OP's. Ray

I have seen slings that had both parts marked and also just the short piece which is more common. If they are marked by two different makers then...two different makers. Not unusual to have them put together when one part breaks. That could have happened anywhere along it's hundred year journey.

I took a few pictures of the sling but I can't seem to copy them to the post. Does anyone know easier way than using photobucket.
