Did anyone ever produce a smooth K98icon sling?

I picked one up today at a yard sale for 50 cents. Looks brand new and unissued. No markings anywhere, has a keeper has the leather on the underside of the metal buckle. Completely smooth exterior. No cross hatching, no parallel grooves on the sides.

I'm assuming repro but for 50 cents, I'm not complaining. I'll stick it on one of my numerous Carcano's.
