I have a Leather sling that I need help identifing. Anybody out there know what it was used for?
It is 44 1/2 " long. 1 1/4" wide.
It does not appear to have been cut as the border is stamped around the ends.
Marked " S.TEES & Co. Ltd. "

It is also stamped with C broad arrow.

Ross Rifle...............

Ross rifle or it could be also used on an Enfield. But in 1914 we didn't have the Enfields I think, so 99% Ross.

I agree, Ross rifle sling, Nice C broad arrow.

Pattern 14 sling... used on the P14 and eventually the SMLE...

Yes, but note, Canada didn't use the P14 at all (WWII P17) or SMLE's, they made it into Canada by 1917. Seeing as this is C borad arrow marked.....Ross.

Wrong war .....

(..... unless, of course, they were incredibly clairvoyant in 1914, and had nothing better to do than make equipment for use three decades later ..... )

I have several of those. They came in string wrapped bundles of 5. They are stamped "P.I. 1940" with 1/8in letters and a larger stamped broad arrow over 100 with 3/8in numbers.
rifleslings.com will give you a description of your sling.

They did make this type of sling in the early part of WWII, They have rivits instead of stitching.

The WWI P-14 sniper in on that rifle is the M1907 pattern, The second shot of the WWII sniper using the P-14 with Model 1913 Warner & Swasey Telescopic Musket Sights (a bit odd...) has the conventioanl WWII canavas sling.
