Speaking of collecting Krag sights.........
This little gem came to the collection a few years ago. 1920's or early 30's vintage.
The Lyman 17A is usually seen on the M1903 Springfield target range rifles. It provides a shooter with different front sight picture options by changing the sight inserts. Not legal for CMP match shooting. Installed on a Krag, the rifle would be in the NRA Match Rifle class (except there is no provision for clip loading).

The vendor damaged the Lyman box label by placing a sticky price tag over the box label. Arrrggg, why do they do that??? After careful removal, the legend reads "Front Sight with nine inserts" and in a hand written script, the word "Krag".

I have purchased many Lyman 17A front sights for other rifles, but this is the only one I every ran into for the Krag.
