Hi Ron, I doubt if I'll find a good 1918 sling for it but I have a few new WW2 dated examples which are the same (save for the date...) the earliest dated sling I have is from 1936 and that will do. Funnily enough, I bought a superb 1907 patt. bayonet for the rifle over seven years ago on eBay...

Hi Ronny, very nice rifles and I'm sure the wings are 100% correct and genuine. It's a funny thing but it has taken me over seven years to find an all-matching WW1 period SMLE in the kind of condition that I wanted. Sure there are still hundreds of mismatched and beaten up examples with oil...

These look fine to me, I've had a few pairs in the same if not better condition. Curly
