Thank you for the information.  I am excited that there is actually information on my Krag.  I have heard of how hard it is to track down any information on most Krags.  There are markings on the front of the magazine that I had been wondering about but they now make sense that they were probably from when it went it was serviced by Springfield.  Seeing that there is information on my Krag and we now know what it originally was thanks to your help do you think it is worth restoring it to what is was originally?
