    M1 Carbine Sling ?

    Can anyone PLEASE help me out with these last few Slings I found in my Storage if there Legit WW2 or Late Korean era ones ? I'm building my Last Carbine and I don't want to list anything that's questionable or fake. Thank You for Your Time.

    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.

    Web looks good to me also.
    Hard to compare the Keepers from the pictures.
    Some appear Wide, Narrow and 1 or 2 may be round.
    Are any of the middle bars on the Keepers marked inside?

    I agree. They all look ok to me too.

    I know, but can't remember it right now. I'm up too late I guess! I've got one of those and have notes on it - I'll look it up tomorrow, but it may be late in the day. Someone else will probably respond by then! Sorry. - Bob

    I believe that the D-tip slings that have the Keeper (Buckle) marked with a W in a circle are reproduction carbine slings. Can't seem to find where I read this, but I own a few of them that I have always considered to be reproduction.

    I seem to recall that the info on those "repro" slings was in a Carbine Club news letter. I could be wrong.
