what's this sling? mp-40?

[fallbarbarossa]

I came across this sling at a flea market, the guy is selling it as a kar98k sling, which I know it istn't. Any ideas what it is? My best guess would be mp-40 if it is in fact German, but it doesn't look like any mp-40 slings I've seen...











then again, i've always heard of them being nearly identical to kar98k slings..

Looks more like a Mauser through the stock type!...

[fallbarbarossa]

Looks a bit small for that IMO and my 98k slings have a buckle... but you're probably right.

[Gunny Hartmann]

Don't take my word for it, just a guess!...

[fallbarbarossa]

I'm guessing too!

Thanks Timothy! I thought so too, it doesn't look like any sling I've seen before.
