"E. de la Croix Nachf. Berlin", i.e. Emile de la Croix Nachfolger, the successors of Emile de la Croix; not sure when the succession happened, but at least before 1907 (based on observed markings).Emile de la Croix is in the Makerslist of Col. J.
Beautiful, rare, sling! If you ever decide to part with it, my naked 08/15 could use it.

Wow! Magnificent display and collecton. I love the two squeeze campaign hats.Thanks Steve, yes definitely a lucky find and a welcome addition to my collection. It now adorns my own 08/15.
No drum I’m afraid, I would definitely like one. The gun is 1917, this one has a mismatched top cover so I’m not 100%} sure of the maker (cover is Spandau).Great gun, great display! Have you fired it? What make and year is the gun? Do you have a drum? Have you fired it?
Thank you Brian, indeed it’s a passionCongratulations on your sling, a lucky find indeed! Excellent display as well…there are many years of hunting treasures shown there.
Thank you! The lemon squeezer’s were local finds and definitely special items to ownWow! Magnificent display and collecton. I love the two squeeze campaign hats.
A fellow collector recently stumbled upon it in Canada of all places, I was fortunate to be able to obtain it from him.The fact that this sling survived 100+ years is quite unbelievable. May I ask did you find it in NZ or did it come from Europe? It is something you would expect to only see in a Great War British Museum display.
