I've got four slings that were made on a West Coast Marine Corps base by a saddle maker. Back when there was a U.S.M.C. Horse Cavalry. Three of the slings are used, however each one is in wonderful shape. The leather used to make them is thick harness leather. None have any dryness, splits or cracks. The 4th sling is unused and is still in pristine, brand new shape.
If anyone is interested in All Four of them. I'll take $160.00 for each of the three used ones and $250.00 for the Pristine, unused one. $730.00 total.
At that price, I'm only making $20.00 apiece for the used ones and $80.00 profit for the Minty one. I had found something else that I wanted to buy and so I'm just preferring to sell them all at once to add to the kitty for the other purchase and prefer not to sell them individually over a long period of time. I just want to get as much money together as I can quickly to minimize the amount I'll have to go to my wife for. LOL
When these are gone, there probably won't be any more coming my way and I know I'm going to be pissed at myself for selling them.

Notice the unique pattern of holes in the short section of each sling...

Oh I still own them all. I just pulled them because I didn't need to sell them anymore as the rifle I wanted to buy is sold now.
I'll just use them on rifles that I've yet to buy down the road.
