Is this Boyt Sling wartime?

[Boz99]

Any information on this Boyt appreciated, wartime, postwar? I’ve been unable to get a definitive answer on this one. 
-Thanks

Not war time.  Civilian sling Later BOYT factory Marking. Another clue its not War time is the war time issue M1907 slings had three rivets on the adjusting hooks and commercial slings have 2 rivets.  BOYT still makes or offers a 1907 pattern sling. I had a couple NOS ones with tags a couple years ago that were made in the 60s or 70s and same logo. This said the slings could be purchased and used for competition shoots and are good quality. Would work well on a Garand or M1a1/M14.

Doyler is correct.  The easy giveaway that it is a post-war sling is the use of the oval shaped Boyt logo which did not come into being until after the War.  The double hooks on this one are also of a slightly different shape as compared to those on USGI slings.

Thank you both for the replies. Right after posting I found an article mentioning the 2 rivet design, since picked up a 44 Milsco.
