Title: Re: Krag Rifle Post by butlersrangers on Jun 19th, 2012 at 1:37am
Gercolctor: Your Model 1898 Krag was probably built in February 1903. The stock stamp behind the trigger-guard is a stylized "P" in a circle. This indicates the stock passed inspection. If there is not a stock Cartouche (in a rounded square with inspector initials and date) on the left side in front of the stock-wrist, your stock is probably a field replacement. Your stock appears to be one of the Italian Walnut stocks that were purchased around 1900-01. Your Krag has the 1901 sight. The metal finish looks a bit rough on your Krag. Your stock appears to have some small cracks. I'd guess the value of your rifle at $550 to $700. IMHO. The 3 piece cleaning rod and oiler are worth about $55. Its hard to assess condition and appeal based strictly on pictures.
