If Winchester supplied it with initial purchase as a part of the order - it was called the 'Winchester Sling' and it's replica is available at S&S Firearms as well at other dealers.

If the Musket was sold as a part of an overseas order - as were the bulk of them - then you need to look to see what countries were so supplied, and copy one of their standard-issue slings.

Look in the 'Henry' forum for more contact information, since the question was answered with regard to the Henry rifle and that thread's located in the back pages.
