zk4298militaria Posted September 18 Share #1 Posted September 18 I’d always been fascinated by the Krag and it’s pre WWI service. This one fell into my lap last month but funds were tight and thankfully it was still in the old man’s garage when I went to make an offer. We agreed on $700 and it came home with me. Serial number puts it to mid-to-late 1898 Exceptional condition, exception being a split sling, which I was surprised was still on there and good condition leather for well over 100 years old. The bayonet date matches the rifle, let me know what you think! Want more pictures just let me know, thanks, Zach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkelly Posted September 18 Share #2 Posted September 18 Very nice! Sounds like a good deal. One of these is missing from my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zk4298militaria Posted September 18 Author Share #3 Posted September 18 Little closer look at the receiver and I noticed that that says Model 1896 if that changes much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
