Excellent original sling. Stock stamped “DETROIT/BOARD/OF/COMMERCE” on the left butt and a 12 digit number preceded by the letter “P” hand etched on the trigger guard tang-probably a Detroit City property number . These were used to guard the waterways, port and harbor of the City of Detroit during WW! And were sold by the City after the war.
