Thank you both for the replies....the original style sling will stay off the rifle unless used for display and I'll get on the waiting list for Turner's to get a good reliable new sling made.
  When I bought the rifle the sling was attached at the butt swivel via the brass buttoned loop and the hook end looped thru the 2nd swivel and hooked thru the adjustment holes that are on the sling near the button.
I cannot find any maker's marks on the sling (leather is still soft and pliable)

thank you all!!!
