The characters on this sling are very nicely stamped. Can anyone translate them? I don't see the traditional "Type 56" characters, but I'm not real good at translating..
It has buckles with short leather tabs.

I can tell the year made is 1961, but i dunno about the rest. :))
These are presumed to be early T56 slings with those buckle tabs, and the 1961 year pretty well confirms that.
Scroll down to the Chinese section..

QuoteA rare late 1960's version top with strap and buckle attachment points retained by "D" rings front and back.
Did we just bust another myth?
It reads:
First line: 7.62 mm automatic rifle sling.
Second line: Sea (Hai, the Chinese character in box), ?? (can't read the character, but it looks more like a symbol or two numbers stacked after the first character), 61 (1961) year made.
the character in box in 2nd line (and the numbers/symbol right behind it) most likely indicates the manufacturer.

Thanks pcke
First line: 53 Type (Type 53) 7.62 (mm) cavalry rifle (carbine) sling.
Second line: Sea (Hai, the Chinese character in box), again ?? (looks more like a symbol or two numbers stacked after the first character), 55 (1955) year 4th Quarter made.
'Cavalry rifle/cavalry gun' is an old name for 'carbine' in China.
Here is another pic of the sling I first posted about (top) along with some others I have.

I can only read the end, 7.62 Type 56. The five characters preceding (to the right) of that I have no idea. Perhaps pcke2000 will swing by.
