Item was recovered from City Point Virginia, after the explosion on August 9, 1864, that was a result of Confederate sabotage. Confederate Secret Service agent John Maxwell has smuggled a bomb with a timed fuse aboard an ammunition barge. It caused a tremendous explosion that shook the city and caused much damage.

Carbine sling swivels attached to the swivel ring on the carbine and to the leather strap worn over the shoulder. This prevents the carbine from being dropped or lost.

This swivel is in good relic condition. There is light surface rust present, and all parts move freely except that the spring is not functional.    [SM]
