Welcome to the forum. Someone should be around to provide some information. Marking on leather can be hard to read after years of handling.
Apparently there is a CGN code. See this link here. Post # 10

Looks like your typical surplus condition K98 sling. Sites like Numrich gun parts and North Ridge international offered some like these in almost the same exact condition. To me it looks like a genuine WW2 German sling. It's not uncommon to find these soooo worn to where the cross hatch pattern is no longer visible. I had a similar example where you could only see the cross hatch pattern in the sunlight.

I'm no expert on these, but here's mine for a comparison.

Thank you everyone for the information, and am very happy to know more about the manufacture. After taking the sling outside and observing it under the sun, I think I can very faintly see some cross hatch pattern, but it does seem very old/worn down. I can also somewhat see tan coloring at points of the sling.
