Time for some history? Norway was before the black death epidemic an independent country. But the black death (1348-1350) took over 2 year the life of 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the population, which in turn meant that the Authority lost 80% of its revenue (Tax). There were almost no people to rule, 2 / 3 of those who ruled before the black death was gone. This ended into that in 1380, the Danish throne ruled Norway. It made it until 1814 when Napoleon lost at Waterloo. The Danes had fought at his side, but the Swedes did not. So as a "reward" or "punishment" according to whom you can see it from, Norway went from Danish to Swedish rule in 1814, but also got its own constitution. Then in 1905, after 525 years, Norway was again completely independent, with its own king. (King Haakon was a Danish prince). Throughout this period, all the people who lived in geographically Norway, is referred to as Norwegian. Therefore, people that start to emigrate from Norway to the U.S. mid 1850's were spoke norwegian and were Norwegians. With all this about being under Danish rule, later Swedish government, and ultimately their own country while the krag was designed by someone who was born and raised in Norway, one can easily get confused.
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.
