I had my slings out for photos, minus a couple that are standard M91/30 slings and are mounted on rifles. Anyway, I recently purchased the sling right below the M44, and I'm not sure what it is. It looks similar to an SVT sling, but the one end has a button loop, not the normal "collar" with buckle like on the other end. Anyone help ID it?

I also threw in a photo of my spare parts collection for fun. I still need a bunch of even common items, and then there are items I like to get.

I'm guessing it's Finnish or Czech.

I dont know what it is.

I dont know what it is.

Well that's alarming! I can get better close ups and of both sides of the ends if it would help? It definitely doesn't look like it was made here, or modified here.

Here are a few more pics from this morning. To take a guess, it looks like Russian rush time sling using what they had? Although the button end was typical of Finn slings. Did the Russians ever use buttons?

No speculation from anyone else? This place is usually a hot bed of speculating for rifles. Maybe the lowly sling doesn't garner enough attention.

haha. Anyway the Finn's used SVT's right? Maybe they made it?

Thanks for the info Ratnik.

So it looks like I paid $20 for a sling worth $10? and for a rifle I'll never own! haha. Maybe I can make it work on a Mosin...
