    Are these MP40 slings original?

    Can't recall ever seeing them stamped with "MP40" Something just isn't right, especially the brown slings that are "unissued" Maybe I'm wrong as I don't know the first thing about these things. The last couple of slings I bought off ebay, I was lied to about the length and they were actually stg58 slings and were returned. Anyone know what an original MP40 sling is worth?
    thanks,
    Robert

    Around 100 for an original, at least that's what I've paid for mine here on the estand. I don't care for these slings, the one stamped Mp-40 is not an original sling, others appear postwar to me.

      I believe these to be post war Italian. BILL

          And that is usually a feeling that we should heed.

            MP40 sling

            Original WWII MP40 slings are a bit taperewd at the insertion end. I have seen originals stamped on the inside, near the slide, in blue/purple ink similar to 98K slings.
