musket sling question

[David Fox]

I'm separated from my source material. What is the length of an M.1839 musket sling intended for an M.1842 musket? Thanks.

The answer is as follows:
Gun sling, bag leather, 1.25 in. wide, 44 in. long with a standing and a sliding loop—hook, brass.

Does that length include the brass hook?
