Anyone ever seen a sling like this? (Egyptian FN49)

[Walther_PPK]

I've been trying to find the correct sling for my Egyptian FN49 for a while (also my Hakim). I believe it is the one in this pic but I've never seen one for sale. Anyone ever seen a sling like this anywhere? I am hoping it may have be used for other firearms besides the FN49 / Hakim so it may be easier to find one......or two

Military surplus stores, Canadians and Brits used them on .303 Enfields.

^ Say what?.............Walther, just keep checking on Ebay sooner or later one (or two) will surface, seems there are some manuals that may be of interest listed that might answer the is this correct question re. sling type.

Not a Canadian/Brit issue sling. XRCO11's advice is a good start for research. One time I had an item from of a military uniform that I was not sure for which country used it. I posted it on ebay at a crazy price. Eventually I received a response from someone who gave me the correct description and that I was insane for the price I wanted.

It looks like the US cloth version of the 1907 leather sling, I have a couple of them

But did it sell at that insane price?

Based on all the photos I've been able to find, and online conversations involving Wayne Johnson, who wrote 'the' book on the FN-49, the Egyptian FN-49s were at least often equipped with a leather sling with a brass buckle and brass button. I picked one up in brown when I got my 3-swivel a few years back. One of these would work: https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=98

Thanks guys. Both my FN49 and Hakim are without slings and I'm way too particular to equip them with something incorrect.

When the Egyptian 49s were originally sold by Allen Lever, they came with leather slings
