White Buff Leather Civil War Rifle Sling (AH-1119)
This was also made by S. H. Young of Newark, and is so marked. This is an unissued example just showing collector gentle handling age. Originally these were thought to have been made for the Model 1841 Mississippi rifles, but now are believed to have been meant to accompany the Model 1863 Remington Zouave rifle. These actually brought more money when they were believed to be for the ’41 rifles… selling in the late 1990s for twelve hundred dollars and more. This sling is 45” long, and has the S. H. Young information stamped on it as well as an inspectors mark.
