    Question Comm bloc mystery slings - help ID?

    I've never seen slings exactly like the two in the top positions. Anyone ever see slings like this before? Any idea what firearm(s) they are made for? What Country?

    The top 2 are the mystery slings, adjacent to 1 PPSh sling, and then 4 SVT40 slings.






    Any idea what these slings are for?

    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.

    Yeah, and/or AK47 they would work.

    Most SKS and AK slings use a metal clip at the front. The later Chinese SKS slings are the only ones that don't, to my knowledge. These are also quite a bit shorter than SKS/AK slings.

    Someone on Gunboards suggested that they might just be a production variant of the PPSh slings, but I'm hoping someone has seen some like this before.

    I've been searching online for images of similar slings and have not been successful, yet. I'm sure there must be more like this somewhere!

    Thanks for the replies!
