This is an original U.S. military 2-claw leather rifle sling from the Canfield Collection, dating from the Indian Wars through the Spanish-American War era (circa 1870s–1900). Designed for use with both the Springfield Trapdoor rifles and Krag–Jørgensen rifles, this pattern of sling features two brass claws for adjustable length and heavy russet leather construction. It saw widespread use by American infantry on the frontier and overseas during the nation’s late 19th-century conflicts. The leather remains pliable with moderate age cracking and wear, while the brass claws show a deep, untouched patina. Stitching remains strong and secure. Though unmarked, its design and wear are consistent with government-issue slings of the era. Measuring approximately 64 inches in length and 1¼ inches wide, this piece is ideal for pairing with an original service rifle or as a standalone collector’s item. Sourced from the well-known Canfield Collection, this is a fine, authentic example of a late 19th-century U.S. Army rifle sling—rich in history and essential for completing a proper Indian Wars or Span-Am rifle display.
