After several thousand were produced (50,000?) they switched back to the standard M1907 sling." There are a number of threads on the CMP forum about USMC slings. I had a chance to buy one once and passed on it when I probably shouldn't have. They are pretty distinct looking.
brad k Posted January 15 #28 Posted January 15 I've read about the marine slings but I think mine is a standard 1907 sling with USMC markings added after issue.
