This is a fantastic find! Here we have a great original unissued sling and ammo pouch set for the U. S. WWII M1 Carbine. This was a lightweight, easy to use, . 30 caliber (7. 62 mm) semi automatic carbine that was a standard firearm for the U. S. military during World War II, the Korean War and well into the Vietnam War. Both the sling and ammo pouch show no signs of use. The sling is marked S. M. Co. 1943
