Flat bladed Rumanian (few pics added) w/sling

[Loose}{Cannon]

Cant see much detail of the sling... Is it a true alby or an alby used chicom?

[MEBears]

Yeah not my best picture for sure. It is Albanian, it's more of a cotton cloth than canvas and has the stitching on the edges.

Strange... I dont remember the ones I seen having the chinese type leather ends and metal loops. 

Def get us some good shots of it...

The leather tabs are longer than the few Chinese slings I have and the buttons are brass. Here are a few closer pics and I found a picture of what it must have looked like new. This one is pretty grimy but at least it doesn't smell I guess.

When the rig and the oiler comes in make sure to take a nice group photo.  Because of the extreme niceness of this one, it's a wonderful candidate to be featured on the Albanian SKSGuide pages (if you want that is). 

Will do! Hopefully it will be nice enough to get an outdoor pic.

Kool!  Cannon want!!!

Whew! I didn't want the most expensive Chicom sling ever.

Tracked down the accessories to go with it and I swapped out the mis-matched parts for unnumbered ones thanks to some help from board members. I think the ammo pouch is Chinese but it's probably as close as I'll get.

Chest rig is Albanian.  Chinese used wooden loop thingys.

Cool that it's Albanian   

Does it have any marking on it Jim?

I was hoping the leather pouch was Albanian too but you can just barely see Chinese characters. I noticed one other difference is that the Albanian rig doesn't have a lined pocket for an oiler like a Chinese does.

No, the Albanian didn't have any markings. That would have been nice.
