i joined this site ten minutes ago, looking for info on my krag. low and behold the first one i see is identical, almost. is stamped 1917 on receiver has the same crown symbol on it BUT also has a swastika on the right side of barrel with an f in front and a 4 behind. 22 inch barrel and serial number is 118959. has a military type front sight on it that appears to accept a bayonet. has been in the family for years. my mothers uncle got it somewhere and my father had it in his gunbox for 40-50 years, he passed a few weeks ago and it was passed on to me. would love to know anything about it.
