Original Item. Only One Available. This is an extremely scarce example of a Civil War rifle sling with maker’s markings, the first of its kind we have offered. The sling measures 39½” long and will make a fantastic addition to your Civil War rifle or musket. 

The marking on the sling reads:

RIDABOCK & CO.
SUCCESSORS TO
MCKENNEY & CO.
NEW YORK

The sling still retains its "running" keeper loop and its "fixed" loop to one end. The other end has a brass hook designed to slot into one of the slings' central holes running down much of its length.

A fantastic sling ready for further research and display!
