    Mystery Sling/Strap Identification, help please.

    I wondered if anyone could help, please, with the identification of these slings/equipment straps? They could have originated from just about anywhere and be intended for anything. The only one with any markings that I can see is the leather sling/strap which would appear to be Swissicon although I don't know what for exactly.

    Any help with identifying origin and for what that each sling/strap is intended for would be greatly appreciated, thank-you, The labels with numbers are for identification purposes only so that we know which one we are talking about.

    Many thanks.

    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.

    This is just a wild guess, but number 4. the Swissicon marked strap, may be a horse or sled pack strap. I would guess the Swiss used both circa 1936.

    The bottom one looks like it could be an AK47 sling. There are a lot of varieties of those.

    The top one looks Britishicon, and is probably an a/c cargo tiedown.
