    Real WW2 slings or no ?

    I have been selling off my excess 1903 Kerr , 1917 Kerr , and M3 Thompson slings.
    I have 8 M1icon carbine slings I want to sell , but while I think they are correct , I really don't know.

    Would the board here kindly give thier opinion on these and a rough value ?

    I do not want to misrepresent them nor ask too little / too much.

    Thanks all , Chris

    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.

    They all look good to me. Only #4 has some minor question marks and that is strictly due to some slight differences in the webbing material. But webbing was supplied by several different companies, so that could account for the variances.

    I just bought one recently for $75 if that helps at all. Seen 'em go for over $125 though. I would think with the oiler you could easily get $100 for one.

    The worst condition one should sell for $35-$40. The best should go for around $75. The others should be priced accordingly. The ones that are going for over $100 are marked slings.

    Thanks for all your responses , they have been most helpful.
    I was going to post these on this board's for sale section , but it and my computer are not talking to each other. The sales team over in the sales section and Badger , here , helped me get one ad up , but I can't service it. Trying to run a multiple sales ad through them is unfair to them and you .
    I've had to put them up on another site , but it is against the rules to direct you there from here.
    My apologies that it is what it is , but my sincere thanks to all who've helped.
    Chris
