I think I may be trying to kill two birds with one stone and that may be harder than I thought it would be lol I want a mostly original rifle, as in original and correct parts, but in the condition that will allow me to handle and shoot the rifle. I definitely don't want a wall hanger since that defeats the purpose of the rifle to me. I want to be able to take it out and have fun while also retaining the historical value and uniqueness of the Krag. The listing that I posted appeals to me because I feel as though I'm finding the best possible example of that. A correct and original rifle that has been refinished to be a great shooter. What I'm trying to say is my greatest concern has become that the rifle parts are original and correct for the weapon. I've been doing research since I came across this rifle and from what I've found it is. I was just seeing if somebody more experienced in Krags could confirm that for me. The best thing about those less than pristine rifles are that they come with a whole lot of character! lol
