Help me understand, but are not the subgun slings unmarked? Is this one real? Thanks in advance, John McP

John,
Im no expert but from what i see the sling looks good.I have not seen one US stamped or dated.Normally the buckles are Kerr marked and patent info.I may have one that isnt(cant recall).
I know repos are probly out there.From the auction pics(and not having it in hand) I would say good.

WW1 Style Kerr slings were marked as the one in the auction...

WW2 style TSMG slings were generally unmarked

Both are similar in construction...

My WWII Thompson sling has no markings. The Thompson slings have a slightly more yellow tint thant the tan rifle slings.

Before bidding ask for a photo of the reverse side of the buckle rivets. Scroll down about mid way on this page, it will give you some things to look for. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=9657
