4thGordons Posted 6 November , 2023 Share Posted 6 November , 2023 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.
