Buckle doesn't look wartime to me.

[rishoej]

Thanks but the sling is ww2

[anmarlodz]

The only thing I'm sure is wartime would be the keeper. The rest looks postwar austrian to me.

[rishoej]

Thanks for your help,

Isn't "SC" one of the normal maker's mark on an original sling?

It looks ok to me.

[rishoej]

It is, but this maker made also metal hardware in postwar era.
All original K98k ( and MP 40 ) carrying slings I have in my collection and had seen over the years have diffrent style buckles ( with crossed pattern on blocking bolt and were flat on both sites on bolt holding leather strap ).

The one shown here has typical construction of postwar buckles.

I will make some photos of my carrying belts and show what I mean.
