OK, so now that I have the 1907 down pat, ya gotta put this one out there?

What was it used for? Since you mention your uncle- M1 Garand? Why so complicated?

I want to say I seen this sling on a BAR in a photo?
I don't think its any more complicated than the m1907 just sewn up different and with a buckle or 2 on it?
From a little info I found it was going to be a replacement for the m1907 sling just in a cotton web sling material, then the basic web sling came along. You know how it goes just good enough for GI is what GI gets. The "GI web sling" as we know works and is "cheap" to make.

Yeah, the 'GI web sling' is MUCH simpler than this M1923. Interesting stuff...
