Swedish Mauser question

I am picking up a really nice 1894 (1916 dated) Swede Mauser as part of a trade tomorrow. My question is, will a sling from a 96 or 38 fit on it or is it a totally different one? Any help out there?

    94 is the cavalry carbine. It has a integral buckle attached to the right side of stock. With a sling bracket on the side of the band, just forward of the rear sight.

    The barrels are very short, less than 18". Because of this, I believe it takes a special sling. The 96 infantry rifles, have barrels 29" long.


    Only picture I could find is one of the ones that InterArms screwed with. When they remarked them as 33/50, and took the original date off. Probably lost half of it's collectors value, because of this.
