BGlass,
A sling for this rifle could have a simple loop at the top, a quick shortening loop, a leather tie, or even a buckle; but the bottom would have a slit, like a buttonhole, which it actually would be.

Ah yes now that makes sense to me. I ended up with 2 slings for a germen cape gun. one has a end i could copy for the top side.
Will experiment for on the bottom for a slitted button hole.
Thank you
Bill

Bill,
If one of your slings has the common loop with a brass (or other metal) button (with one flat end and the other one rounded) on one end, if you open it up the slit on the end should work. If not, you should be able to extend the slit a little. This works on my rifle. Good luck.

Your 60 caliber rifle is a unique and beautifully crafted piece. The flared barrel with deep rifling and lighter grooves, along with the intricate basketweave pattern, makes it stand out. The double triggers, with a hair trigger in the front, and the engraved names "IGNATZ" and "WAGNER" add to its distinctive features. The inlaid "IN PLASZ," detailed rear sight with fold-up leafs, and the silver badge behind the hammer further highlight its craftsmanship.

It sounds like your rifle has a rich history, possibly from Europe, given its detailed engravings and design. If you want to share pictures or get more information, try firearm forums or experts who can help you learn more about its origins and significance.
