If I read the markings correctly is says M-D Mfg Co. over 1944. I received this as part of an auction lot and I have an offer to buy but I don't really know if the offer is "fair" I don't think this was ever issued, it is super clean on the inside and outside. Zipper is OD Green, leather zipper stops are in fantastic shape. no wear marks on the outside either. Thanks in advance Jim ..aka......hognfrog Last Edited By: hognfrog 07/09/08 04:46 PM.

Check it carefully is there any markings on it either on top or on the side? If original they range from $125.00 - $150.00 all depends how bad someoen wants it

Deffinately not a carbine sling. Not real sure what its for but I would be interested in it if you want to sell it or trade, I'm always looking for something unusual detrick224@embarqmail.com

Beleive it or not I sold both of them this evening. I guess the M1 Carbine Case was the hot item. It is really a beauty as you can see by the photo's. Sorry I can't tell you who bought them. But I feel I got a "fair & reasonable" price for both of them. They are already packed up and ready to be mailed tomorrow. Thanks Again Jim .......aka.......hognfrog
