I would be greatful if anyone could help me ID the two slings in the photo. Top sling is 1 1/8" wide the lower is 7/8" wide. Both in decent shape so I hope I have somthing they fit or I will have to reverse purchase a rifle for each sling.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I actually looked there first saw some close to the narrow one but not the wider one.
44 views and no hints? I hope they are that rare.

Top one looks French icon

, any French from 1886 to present.

Bottom I'd guess South American Mauser.
