Title: 1899 carbine serial number help?
Post by Newly on Jul 7^th, 2015 at 8:49pm

Have a 1899 carbine, #356122. 1902 is kind of late in the game, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Krag #356122 was probably assembled around November of 1901. Nothing is very close in Frank Mallory's list in "The Krag Rifle Story".

FWIW, my 1899 Carbine 357288 (in nearly new condition) bears a very sharp JSA/1901 cartouche.
