SLING, SMALL ARMS, M1
This is an olive green color cotton web sling, first developed during WWII and with some slight modifications was the standard issue sling up through the 1960's. A nylon version was introduced about 1969 and the common complaint about the nylon version is that the locking lever that determined the length adjustment, which worked fine with cotton web, could not grasp the smoother nylon web and would seemingly always slip. The most recent cotton web M1 sling I have is dated 6/69.
