Sten Gun Slings Help Please

[SHEARING-CROSS]

HIYA just located a pile of these slings , thought they were for sten guns but have just realised the end clip is not the wire type ?
but the sprung hook , they are dated 1943 and appear original are they for another weapon or for something not weapon related ?
any help would be great ,thanks .
p.s i will be putting a few on the e/stand

Hi Michael,

They look like normal Sten slings to me Can you post a close up of the different clip?

How much are you selling them for?

Hiya Des ,
will try to sort out a better photo , slings are not my area but i thought the end clip as like a wire loop ,these have the sprung clip like on the 1958 pat webbing , hey .......they may be a rare patt: that was never adopted
...very much doubt it knowing my luck .

have stuck one on e,bay with free postage if ya ` buy it now ` i will sort one out for you cheap if ya want ,p.m me
thanks ,Michael.

The Sterling SMG slings were/are the same, also came in green.
