I'd call it a later "WWII type" but not an original. - Bob

I definitely agree! Still looks great on the rifle though

Does it come with the carbine? Nice rifle!

Reproduction sling and oiler combo.

lboos,
Didn't you pick up a GI C Tip a while back from that place I told you about? Compare them, unless you don't have access to this carbine.

Seems some of these have a mark on the inside of the Keeper / Buckle / Slide ? Maybe a circled single digit or small symbol ??

I bought about 10 - 12 of this type for about $25 at a gun show. Have some left tucked away that I give to Commercial carbine owners at our range. Or rig up for the local kids BB guns. They make pretty good dog leashes for smaller dogs.

Hi Painter, sorry it took me so long to get back. I do have the two C tip ww2 slings you helped me get, but I was not sure of the D tip sling on the gun in the pic. it just look's too new to be a ww2 sling, I got this pic. from here and of the three slings, the D tip on the far right look's a lot like the one on the gun in the pic. and I thought it might be a fake ww2 sling, or it just might my bad vision. any thoughts on the sling on the carbine in the pic ? ...the barrel is marked 2-44 ?, would that sling be correct for the gun ?

Sling on the carbine is what Bruce M said, A Reproduction.

Never in any era was it used by GI's.

Real D tips slings came in to use Post WWII.

IIRC, the picture you added of the 3 slings, the one in the middle with the TRW snap, I believe was very late Vietnam... but I'd need to double check on TRW hardware.

Here's pics of a sling that sold on eBay for $100 in 2012. A real sling with a fake marking??? What time period? - Bob

A real sling with a fake marking?

IMO,
A Fake Sling with a Fake Stamp...... Unique color though.
Looks like someone used their Fake 'Boyt 43' Leather stamp dipped in ink.
