Reviewing the ink stamp in the center of my web sling that came with Frenchie and I found this information: M.W.&S. LTD. 1944 This wartime sling was made by Michael Wright & Sons, Limited of Quorn, England in 1944. Note the ink stamp, which had replaced the stamped brass markings by this date. Interestingly, the markings on this sling are in the middle of the webbing, rather than on one end, as found on the majority of other examples. Note also that a Broad Arrow ownership mark is stamped at the same time as the maker information, another development of the late 1930s. An interesting side note here, is that M.W.&S. Ltd. is still in business...
