Happy New Year everyone.  I've been lurking for a while attempting to learn a bit more about my new Krag and realized this may be the place for me.  My 90 year old Great Uncle, a WWII Seabee veteran, gave me his 1898 Krag over the holidays.  When I asked for the backstory and the history, he mentioned that it (and 4 others) were acquired during the early 70's, possibly as a result of a extended evening of poker playing.  Nevertheless, my local gun shops couldn't give me the details like I've found on this site, so I'm hoping your well trained eyes might shed a little light on what I've been given.  He's a wonderful man and I have no plans to sell it as it has now become priceless.   Thanks very much.  Pics to follow.
