    Question Bill Ricca???

    Or anyone else that may be able to ID this sling. I remember something about the rounded slip buckle but it escapes me right now. Is this genuine? TIA

    Bill,
    Mr. Ricca commented on a early Inland sling with the keeper/buckle having the rounded edges in this post.

    Hope this helps till he pops back on......

    Cheers,
    Charlie
