It does not look like either libertytree or that ebay link ships to Norway I'm afraid

They are not at all rare. Now that you know what you need, search for closer source. I did not know you are in Norway.
Just as an aside, my moms maiden name is Amundsen. My grandfather was Roald’s great nephew.
 
My Stg sling was 54” from buckle to
Tip. I cut mine down to 48” (~122cm) buckle to tip. I cut the original tip off and used it as a template to cut the tip shape into the leather with a sharp razor. I then used Febrings leather dye on the light colored leather I just exposed. Still waiting on the large teardrop leather punch and sling button…

Felt like a bubba cutting up a nice sling, but kept reminding myself these are post war and theres a bunch of them on the surplus market… it will be a good placeholder till I find an original, then it’ll probably be sold
to somebody also looking for a placeholder

post a pic when you've finished it (y)
 
Nice! looks almost like the original. Have you cut that pattern into the sling or was it like that?
