This is an original Vietnam War-era U.S. Army M1 Carbine sling, manufactured in 1962 and originating from the esteemed Canfield Collection. Constructed of durable olive drab canvas, this sling features the classic "D-tip" metal tab on one end—an identifying trait of authentic U.S. GI issue slings used in the 1950s through the early Vietnam War period. The OD canvas remains in excellent condition with minimal fading, no fraying, and firm stitching throughout. The metal D-tip is securely attached and retains its original finish. These slings were standard issue for the M1 and M2 Carbines during the Vietnam era, often paired with oiler inserts in the buttstock channel. This example, being part of the Canfield Collection, adds provenance and collector appeal—likely curated by Bruce Canfield, a respected firearms historian known for his extensive work on U.S. military weapons and gear. An ideal accessory for a correct Vietnam-era M1 or M2 Carbine restoration, or for collectors seeking authentic field gear from the early 1960s.
