New production or vintage?

I didn't realize the new tactical stuff are called sling hooks........looking for the vintage type but newly made is fine.

Vern, if you have a rifle already equipped with the eyes there was or is a company that makes safari gear that makes slings with leather thongs made to attach to the eyes for a quiet and scratch free attachment. Every old rifle I’ve handled equipped with the old style hook eyes has the stock gouged from the hooks digging into it at one point or another.
NECG used to carry the slings and I want to say they were Trader Keith brand? They used a neat knot to attach that looked like a noose when properly tied.
ETA. I just looked and it is Trader Keith and they are still in business and making the slings. Lots of neat stuff on their site.

You can find sling hooks at Buckleguy.com. I buy most all of my leatherwork supplies from them.
