Hello,
Thank you for your responses. The serial number of my Krag is 441XXX I guess that brings it to the 1903 issue date? I've never separated the metal parts from the stock. I have an early RIA model 1903 and the front sight and barrel band appear to be identical. I know the rear sight is an early issue replacement. Here's a photo of the cartouche.
