    Ebay Sling Seller

    I know of members here buying from this seller.

    But curious to thoughts about this listing.........

    M1 Carbine Original Sling Khaki SM Co 1943 WWII US | eBay

    These, seem to be the real deal...

    M1 Carbine Original Sling O D SM Co 1944 WWII US | eBay

    Thoughts on the first link?

    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.

    I haven't purchased a sling from him but I did buy an Inland oiler from him the other day. He has II oilers for $35.00 plus $3.00 shipping "Buy it Now" or make offer. I sent him an offer for $28.00 and he accepted, should be here in a few days.

    This guy actually has a reputation for honest dealing. He has found a bunch of stuff over there in Franceicon and has been selling at fairly reasonable prices. I haven't heard any complaints.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    I have bought from him twice and very pleased with his items. A week to ten days to receive the box. Plan to buy more from him soon.

    I bought the bolt tool pawl from him for $12 shipped. It was the real thing, and arrived in just a few days. I would buy from him again. As far as that first link, I've got to look up how big the O in CO. is supposed to be. I've got a hunch it should be the same size as the one stamped 1944. - Bob

    Here's some pictures of a sling that sold on eBay in April this year for $147.00 - I don't recall who the seller was. The pictures aren't that great, but looks to be another upper case O. - Bob

    The large O is a problem. That sling is a GI sling, but the markings very most likely have been added.

    Back in the 1990's many WWII slings were around and the market had a lack of knowledge that most carbine slings were unmarked. Because purchasers wanted marked slings, many were marked with original markings and with markings that never existed. Also to the left of the markings looks like an ink stain which often happens when dealers use a stamp.


    Furthermore that 1943 sling markings has very different letters from all of my sling markings I have, or seen in 40 plus years. It is a legit sling, but I have doubts about the markings.
