Need some input from you experts. I bought a 94 carbine this weekend and it came with this sling. I was wondering if it was the real deal or a made-up one. The length is 50 inches, there are 24 adjustment holes in it, and it is a little narrower than the 96-type slings I have seen. There is only one hole in the end that goes through the stock (see picture below). It is worn in the right places it seems. There is an "HV" crown stamp on the buckle end.
What do you think? Sorry I cut off the buckle end in the overall length picture. I was in a hurry I guess. The end that is cut off has the brass buckle on it as seen in the other pic.

hi Stacy
I'm not 100%, but I think the crown/HV is Danish, not Swedish..

I have several Swedish m94 carbine slings, and none of them are sewn on the buckle end like that one. I would keep it on the rifle because it is the next best thing to having a real one. Sorry, but it is a keeper. I will not tell how a real m94 buckle is sown until Anders tells you.

JerryLW,
Why not share what you know? I don't understand your reluctance. This is a forum for sharing ideas, opinions, and knowledge.

hey Stacy.....
The m/94 sling I have is sewn across and parallel with the bar of the brass part, not at a right angle like in your photo. This is the same sling on your website but I don't know if it shows this.. but I just checked and wanted to tell you right up front without mystery or intrique
Again, I'd hazard to say your sling is Danish.

Dutchman nailed it on the head! I did not want to be the one to let the cat out of the bag. I have been reading this form for years and no one has told anyone what to look for on a m94 sling other than length and a single hole on the opposite end. It looked like a state secret, and I didn't want to be the one to let out a state secret.

The sling can be Swedish but I don’t think so because the HV stamp.
HV=Hemvärn (Homedefens )
the Swedish Homedefens don’t use stamps like that .
We use mostly the three crown .
So I think it is Danish
Regards
Olof
