Description: Have two of these. Selling ONE per auction. They LOOK neutral green in some shots, but they are actually a light gray-greenish hue. Someone asked: no reason they couldn't be dyed to another hue, but I'm not going to try it!!! I've been told they're Indian. I've been advised they're Pakistani. What I know is, they're unmarked and a very pale shade of gray-green, full length, used on UK Commonwealth, Empire, and British rifles right up until the present day. Unusual color, and these may be "issue" somewhere, or maybe they're just shooter-style reproductions. They DO work and they seem to have been in storage for a long time. Hopefully, two points are obvious: ONE SLING PER ORDER, and the various rifles shown at the end of the auction are not only not included, they appear ONLY for illustration purposes. Those bear other straps, but demonstrate correct threading. Fine for SMLE's, nominally appropriate for #4 Enfields, and these saw use right up until quite recently. Indeed, I am fairly sure I saw something very similar to this on an Indian rifle on a news program in the last few weeks. In fact, in some parts of the world, these same straps are still sold commercially right now and for over a century. They are still manufactured in various former Empire and Commonwealth countries. They're apparently still issued. Regulation length, treated with anti-mildew and moisture resistant spray unlike the often-rotted originals.
