Sling goo?

[harris hawk]

Just got my first Japanese rifle, Type 99 Ariska, with chrysanthemum, bolt dust shield, perfect chrome lined barrel, mismatched bolt, monpod, stock furniture is excellent, intact aircraft/ladder type rear sight, and plastic/rubber type sling with unit symbols painted on it. The sling has organge/red goo coming out of it. My question would be, is this deterioration, or someone trying to repair the aging sling? Will post a pic when I get home from work tonight. Thanks.

Michael
