Thanks! I guess I’ll try to return it. It wasn’t cheap and I want a correct sling. Thanks and if anyone has a correct sling they want to part with please let me know.

Hi all,

 

Thanks in advance for any help or comments on this. I know theres a lot of either hate or affection for the reising. My grandad used one in the Pacific so I have an attachment to them. I have a military reising with sling loops and recently asked a well respected military memorabilia site if they have a wwii period Riesing sling. They said they did and sent me the attached below. I never asked for pictures as Ive bought high dollar items from this person and didnt feel the need too (my fault). I know this to be a m1 type sling and am aware that some reising users used m1 slings but this Isnt a reising sling to my knowledge as it is not marked with the boyt 43. It measures 45 inches. Could anyone with knowledge shed some light on this sling or confirm that it is a m1 sling and give me a current value...if its worth what I paid or more Ill just keep it I guess.
