They both look good to me, one is just in better condition than the other.

Member Bergflak is the authority on these. Perhaps he'll see the thread and offer his opinion.....

The one to the right looks postwar to me

Can you please expand on what makes you think it's postwar.

I agree with FestungSpanien. The light-brown sling was manufactured by Stolla/Wien (not all of them were marked with the ovale trademark). The dark one is fine, but I am not a fan of the button.
Some info and pictures for comparison on www.bergflak.com

Once again, many thanks for your posts and information guys. I actually purchased the " Stolla/Wien" sling off the Estand as an original a few weeks ago.

So just to be clear, the lighter brown one is postwar? fooled me, I am no expert but the stitching, details etc all added up for me. I learned something.
