Finally, the only krag manufactured in Norway is the norwegian krag. The danish model in Denmark, and the US-krag in USA. As the production capasity were not available but the demand was there, you know that some norwegian krags were made by Steyr in 1896-1897. 


i was under the impression reading various histories that the danish krag started at kongsberg, same place the norwegian krag was manufactured.  it was then sent to the danes for evaluation and eventually adoption.  that would make sense since ole krag was at the time the head of the norwegian (i don't acknowledge swedish rule here since norway's constitution overruled monarchy) army and operated from kongsberg.
