Slings and Bayonets 1911 carbine

[Aragorn243]

What would the appropriate sling and bayonet be for a 1917 1911 carbine?

The 1918 was designed for this rifle but would be one year later. The pioneer blade is what was issued with some troops but not all from what I can find but it is the only one available in 1917 that fits it properly.

And the sling would appear to be the same one as issued with the K31 but are any available for that early a date? I'm sure replacement slings would have to be issued so not a huge deal.

I couldn't find any sources for early K11 slings so I'm just getting a K31 sling, probably the same sling, just different years of production. Decided to go with the 1914 sawback bayonet as I already have a 1918 bayonet and with my rifle being a 1917, it was "probably" issued a 1914.
