Ed,
The quantities I mentioned were monthly quantities of Canadian produced Stens that were being shipped, not sling quantities.
I just captured these images of a couple of slings that had been packed in a box for approx 25 years. A 1942 Z.L.&T non-adjustable, and a 1944 British (hard to read the maker) adjustable.
