This is a very nice looking 1 piece sling that measures approximately 69 ½ inches. It is very strong and the leather is firm but pliable. The color ranges from a medium brown to a darker brown throughout. The brass keeper is very strong and has some tarnish. About 19 inches inward, it is stamped E. And there looks to be additional stamped words above it but they are a little hard to read with the wrinkling. From the frog end at about 29 ½ inches there is an approximately 1 inch edge of the leather that is worn down about 5/16 at the most. There are 2 very nice leather keepers with strong stitching. The brass button is very nice. On that edge of the leather, it is stamped RAL. From that end, at 22 about 22 ½ inches, there is a spot were additional holes were made for the frog. The surfaceis a mixture of smooth and minor surface wrinkling with 4 of the frog holes having shallow surface cracking between them. Overall, this is a very nice and clean sling.

Original sling, no cuts, unmolested, it has a buckle with prong, a sliding leather keeper and a stud. Leather is strong, it was on a rifle when I got it, I took it off with no problems. Leather is dry in places and the finish comes off on your hands when you handle it, like a fine powdery dirty residue. I have not done anything to leather to treat that, not sure what the method would be. Sling has some blurry markings on backside, see pics. Besides the holes for stud and slot for buckle prong, there are 8 small holes for adjustment and one more slot for buckle prong adjustment.
