According to article this was a USMC issue Model 1907 sling. Reported as being made for the Marine Corp. Differs in having two extra sets of adjustment holes, and keepers have a staple in addition to being sewn.

Other than the extra adjustment holes and staples in the keepers it is identical to other Model 1907 slings. No markings that I can find. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?

I also have one of these unfortunately not as good condition as yours. If I remember correctly they were made in a San Diego saddlery just a small amount. No indication for what use I can imagine possibly for the shooting team. No matter very difficult to find one wish there was more info on them

Thanks for posting. What I had found was excerpts from that thread.
I just found one of these slings in my box of trashed 1907 slings.
