Carbine and Musket Slings
The US musket Slings were contracted in either "fair" or stained leather. Exposure to dirt grease and iron has aged some of these slings to look as if they were originally black but this is not the case.

#271839 Pattern of 1839 Musket Sling $32.00
(Fits the 1842 Musket, Mississippi Rifle, 1816, and 1835) This is the first sling made of russet leather and brass hook. This sling is 44" long, and this is true that the sling for the 42 musket is shorter than that of the 1855. For more information on this sling please see
Summer 2002 issue Military Collector and Historian, Journal of the Company of Military Historians.(Will fit the Enfield or Springfield) This is the US Government pattern with hook, a standing loop, and a sliding loop. They are made in the oiled finish only. In order to make this sling fit an Enfield you will need to add a new set of holes 23" down from the hook. The US ordnance dept did not make a special sling to fit the Enfield, that has been documented so far but the soldier must have modify the regular musket sling to fit.
The same as #2702 but longer. The are made in the oiled finish only.
We make the later one piece type but if you request we will make the earlier two piece.
