Fenn 'down under': That is a nice example of a model 1898 Krag at 'lawranceordnance'. At a U.SA. gun show in the Midwest, it would probably be priced at about $1,000 to 1,200 (USD). It would be neat to know how it came to be in Australia.
BTW - In Michigan we considered the 'Lee' a North American design. The State of Michigan, (due to the slowness of the U.S. Government in issuing Krags), purchased Model 1899 Remington Lees in .30-40. Here is a circa 1900 picture of a relative's company in the Michigan National Guard. The Sergeants have Krags and the privates have Remington Lees. (The Lee-Enfield was a far more robust arm than the Remington-Lee). |
