This is an excellent condition example of a Confederate made linen sling for use with rifle muskets and other long arms issued by the Confederacy to their troops. The use of cloth gun slings was an outgrowth of the scarcity of useable tanned leather the Confederacy experienced as the war progressed. Overall, this is a good condition example of a relatively scarce Confederate linen rifle musket sling. The sling shows great age and real wear, but still remains perfectly serviceable for mounting on a Confederate rifle or musket. This would be a great addition to the display on your Fayetteville or Richmond produced long arm. All Confederate accouterments are scarce,
