K98k / G41 / G43 / StG44 rifle sling 'bdr 41 WaA'

A nice early-war period leather sling for the K98k rifle (as well as the Gewehr 41/43, Sturmgewehr 44 etc). 
 
Still in good combat used condition with some of the ricasso cross-hatch pattern still visible, as well as the maker code and date marking 'bdr 41 WaA'. 
 
Also of note is the period applied white paint line - almost certainly added by the user to indicate where their ideal placement for the sling when attached to the stock. 
 
The original leather sling keeper is included, albeit with replaced brass retainer stud, and the sling remains supple throughout.
 
A scarce sling to find as an early-war example with markings still mostly intact like this!
