ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR MUSKET SLING

$225.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 1256-24

This is a leather shoulder sling designed for use with Civil War muskets.

The sling has a fixed leather loop sewn to one end and a brass hook on the other, which is mounted under a sewn down flap. The hook engaged one of holes along the length of the sling, which allowed the length to be adjusted. There is also a sliding leather loop remaining. The sling is approximately 47” long overall including the brass hook, and 1” wide.

This original musket sling is in used condition. Black leather; unstamped. The brass hook on the end is shorter than normal; it likely broke and the remaining piece reshaped into a new hook. There is cracking and crazing to the surface finish overall. There are swivel “creases” visible showing where this was mounted on a musket at one time. Leather is pliable and could be put onto a musket again.  [jet][ph:L]
