I once saw a picture of a Sharps Carbine with the butt-stock swivel, and a sling that was manufactured (or improvised) to attach to the swivel at the butt, and then looped over the barrel at the other end. Is anyone aware of a sling of this type being used by the Confederacy during the war? The Robinson Sharps had the butt-stock swivel as well as the carbine ring, and I believe the original photo may have also been of a Robinson Sharps carbine with this type of sling attached. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I cannot seem to locate the photograph. The photo was of the weapon only with the sling on a white background, and was in black and white if I remember correctly. Has anyone seen the photo, or anything like it? I know there is little information on CS carbine slings, either with snap hook or otherwise.
