    Mauser sling ID help.

    Not certain what I have here. Mauser type sling 3/4" wide approximately 54" long with only two adjustment hole/slots for butt end tab adjustment and no cross hatching. Well worn with no discernable markings on the adjuster butt tab or body of the sling. STG 44? Cut down K98icon sling?

    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.

    I think that is an Italianicon Carcano Sling. They don't use a keeper however.

    That would explain why the keeper looks diffrent in condition and color (possabily repro) bit the holes/slots do not look like the Carcanio slings I can find pictures of. The CarcanioK98 type pictures show a slot terminated at either end with a hole were the Germanicon slings have a hole only at one end? Very odd.
    http://www.bergflak.com/mp40.html Perhaps this is the answer? MP38 MP40 sling? Replace the questionable tab with a button and it looks correct. Buckle, legnth & the odd hole/slot spacing seem to be correct.
