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.
