M1913 New Pattern Gew 98 Woven Canvas Sling. Made for Imperial German forces in the African colonies and used by Imperial German forces in the Middle East theater of War. Leather piece attached to the sling is broken. Sling swivel is unit marked 10. ? 75. or 76 second number is not legible. The 10 also could be a 12. It looks like it may have been renumbered at one time. This is one of four woven canvas Slings I have ever seen. I don't know how many were produced. I don't know how many are left in the world.
