    Why So Expensive????????

    I never criticize anyone's sales. Caveat Emptor I say, but why the interest in this sling? I have a bunch of slings, a bunch of the same parts bags, and a printer, and I can always use some extra money. Is there something here I'm missing?

    It appears to have been packaged in 2/79. I'm sure it is a WW2 sling!

    I'm not so sure. The pictures aren't that great and it doesn't show the buckle/clasp.
    Did they have that type of resealable bag back in 79 ??

    There are 49 bids, so far, but only 3 different bidders and 2 of them really don't know to bid.

    Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

    Another fool soon parted with his money.
    Wish some of those idiots would find my auctions

    Ziploc? A quick search shows the company started in the mid to early 50's.

    Early WWII will have flat buckle and a tighter weave.
    The price for what it sold at is not normal. Very good condition WWII Flat Buckles will sell for around $50 or so
