The "Improved Sling For Carrying Blankets & Overcoats" Patent Provides Plenty Of Details And Measurements Which Were Used To Reproduce This Sling Due To The Lack Of An Original Specimen. You Can Rest A Sure That We Have Done Our Part Using The Information Available To Make You An Excellent Reproduction. The Sling Is Made Of Firm Oak Tanned Leather And As Always Sewn Entirely By Hand. It Features Two Japanned Iron Roller Buckles With Plenty Of Adjustment For A Blanket, Overcoat, Groundcloth, Shelter Half, Or Whatever You Want To Carry In It. This Is A Great Alternative To A Blanket Roll Especially On Those Wonderful Hot Summer Days In The Field. This Was Not An Issue Item And Its Entrance To The Field Was Entirely Private Purchase From The Many Sutlers That Followed The Army Everywhere. Perfect For Officers, Privates...Federal Or Confederate Impressions! Due To The Small Dimensions Given In The Patent Information, Those Of You Who Are Over 6 ft Tall May Wish To Choose The "Long Length" Sling From The Drop Down Menu Above.
