Title: Model 1898 Krag without a cartouche stamp?
Post by remington on Nov 25^th, 2011 at 5:40pm

On one of the sites, I'm looking at an 1898 30-40 Krag that appears to be in fine shape. Everything looks original, nothing replaced, like the stock. It is serial 372XXX and dates 1902. But, there is no cartouche stamp on the stock.
Nor does it have any stamps on the stock. Again, from the excellent photos of metal to wood, the stock definitely looks all original and not a replacement.
Is that normal on some of these rifles? Thanks much.
