Can anybody tell me anything about this sling? The slider is brass and it has no markings.
Thanks in advance.

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.

An early flat slider...are you sure it's brass? Try a magnet to see for sure. Could it be that someone used a phosphor-bronze rifle brush to clean some crud off and it left it brassy looking? It would be the first brass slider I've seen... The Danish icon

produced some flat slider slings too well after the fact but the material was vastly different to these and the finish on the metal was different...

The slider is nonmagnetic. It is brass, I can see it where the finish is worn. The stitched area at the clip is longer than normal. I don't know about the weave in the sling material.

There'll be more guys along soon here, I wonder if it's one of the Danish icon

copies? They were all in good finish so I never the material of the slider but they were the early type slider. I thought they had normal short square stitch pattern. We'll soon see...

It's a puzzle and this is the group that will solve it.
