Description:
Exceptionally fine cavalry carbine sling. These slings were worn over the cavalry trooper’s shoulder, clasped to his carbine by a ring on the cheek side of the stock, thus ensuring the arm would remain handy and accessible when needed. This fine example  cavalry sling is uncut and retains its original length of 56 inches by 2 3/8 inches wide. It also bears its original steel swivel, marked "O.B. North/New Haven, CT". The strap is black bridle leather with only minor signs of wear or flaking.

North was a military goods manufacturer who received a government contract for 29,142 carbine slings and swivels between May of 1864 and June of 1865. This is an uncut example and is original in every respect with the brass tip and buckle original to the sling. An exceptional original Civil War-era leather cavalry accoutrement.
