What colour is the sling?

The sling is made in a yellowish khaki colour. This shade of khaki was used during most of WWII. The reproduction matches the colour of original slings.

How does the reproduction compare to an original sling?

The reproduction is very close to an original sling. It is virtually identical apart from the absence of an original maker stamp on the hardware. The sling is slightly smaller than an original, which is attributed to the wear on original items.

Are the metal clips and buckles durable?

The clips and buckles are authentic looking. However, the spring part of the clips may not be very springy. Some slings have experienced a metal clip breaking off during attachment, suggesting the metal may be cheap.

Is the sling easy to attach to a weapon?

Attaching the sling can be challenging. There are many different ways to put it on, making it difficult to determine the correct method. Despite this, it holds up nicely once attached.

What period does this reproduction represent?

The sling is a reproduction of those used during WWII. It is specifically identified as a Thompson M1A1 Kerr sling. The appearance is genuine looking and matches slings remembered from the Canadian Forces in Korea.
