If you want a webbing version they are plentiful on eBay - but if you want a Great War marked one you will have to hunt and, (unless you get lucky) pay a premium, Visually virtually identical WWII versions are cheap and plentiful. Beware - there are Great War dated "Replicas" many of which are not great.  I have WWII dated / producedversions on most of my rifles - just a couple of WWI ones for display. 

An alternative (and sometimes easier to find a period one) would be a leather sling - these continue to be made until the early 1940s also (see thread on them here) and are identical to the GW version.

Just inherited the above without its sling, any ideas as to how I find one chaps. Regards Ralph

A friend just listed a 1922 leather example for sale on Facebook, can send more details if interested:
