Argentine 1909 engineer carbine sling.

[Fruler]

For my Argentine 1909 engineer carbine I have purchased one sling... A near mint condition green leather sling, that I believe was intended to be used on the long rifle (gew 98 type pattern 1909 arg). This sling itself is very nice and beautiful but I would the correct sling that was intended to be used with the rifle. I bought this sling because I was ignorant that there would be a carbine sling.

There may have been many types of slings for the carbine over the years, so there maybe several iteration or patterns of sling. I've seen one that is natural leather on one side and dyed brown on the other and is narrow in width. I've seen another that is wider and natural in color.

If anyone could post an image or link me into the right direction so I could know what pattern is correct, I'd appreciate it. I will post a picture of my rifle to clean up confusion on what pattern of rifle I have... It is the 1909 engineer carbine. Any information will help me because right now, I have no idea what to look for... Thanks.
