Kar88/Gew91 slings?

[flynaked]

I’m trying to find an old thread I saw at one point covering some details on slings for these, perhaps someone remembers it. I just picked up a matching G91 but I’m unsure of the sling type, and I’m having trouble finding examples of originals to compare, thanks guys.

Here is my gew 91 sling. I was very lucky to find it! Someone on gunboards was selling it and didn’t really know what it was. Fits both my 88 and 91 well.

Hopefully these picture help.

Thank you for the reference! I see that yours has 9 holes, in contrast mine has 7, with other differences as well, it has been suggested that it might be commercial. I didn’t have time to take good pictures before I had to leave but here are some anyway.

Here is some info for you Clay I asked about these slings last year. Only seen one for sale before on Ebay and it went for big money.

Thanks Jordan that’s exactly what I was remembering, thought it was an even older thread.
