Nice looking rounds.

For the barrel carrying strap, there should be a metal ring on one end and that gets slipped over the ball on the barrel. The other end should have a strap coming off at a right angle and it wraps around the barrel and cinches back to itself. There should be a section at the of strap that also continues straight (in-line with the barrel) and it is a quick-release system that can fasten onto the end strap that is on a separate muzzle cover made of leather.

I can probably source a photo if this doesn't make sense.


For marking on your barrel, many of these training types have a ball that is not removable and the there will be markings on it somewhere near the barrel. I've seen several that were 1940-1941 dated and think they were converted from earlier patterns.
