"AW" - I repeat my recommendation that you buy a copy of Joe Poyer's  $25 book. It contains lots of clear photographs and will answer many of your questions. It has a lot of information on Krag accessories. It may help prevent expensive mistakes.

Another low cost item is a replica Ordnance Manual. Reprinted Manuals show up all the time on ebay and at gun shows. I particularly like the "1917" version, but, you may need an earlier printing to get instructions for your model 1896 rear-sight.

A nice example of the regular Krag bayonet & scabbard will cost $125 to $200. Lots of them are listed on ebay and gunbroker. You want to avoid blades that have been sharpened, dented scabbards, and examples that are badly rusted, pitted, or refinished. Krag bayonets show up at gun shows. Blade dates will range from 1894 to 1902.

Personally, I don't care about matching dates to rifles - the U.S. Army didn't care.

Don't buy a bayonet sheathed in a leather picket-pin case! The Army didn't do that. It's bogus. (Buy bayonet with scabbard. IMHO - It's probably harder to find a good scabbard than a nice bayonet).

If you are patient, a good bayonet 'will find you'.

Grandpa's Gunparts in the KCA Classifieds has original 'three-section' cleaning-rods and Oilers for about $50 for the set. These fit in the butt-trap and are a nice accessory at that price.

Decent replica leather Krag slings can be purchased online for $18 to $25. For the Krag, it should only be 64" to 66" total length.

An original Krag model 1897 screwdriver or brass muzzle-cover/sight-protector will cost about $100, each. You could get lucky at a gun show. These items are luxuries, not necessity. Being aware now, you may just blunder into these items.

Reproduction cleaning-rods and muzzle-covers are being made - be knowledgeable and careful! It helps to know the reputation of the seller.
