Sling Length -  43 3/4 inches

Sling Width -  1 1/4 inches

 

This is a Lee-Metford, Mark II. The sling is the same type as used on the WWI British SMLE.

Information added from John Thorne

The sling you show appears to be a late Pattern 14 in Service Dress Brown. The usual Long Lee sling was much the same but longer - like the type you show with the Martini Henry.
