Steyr made 10,000 rifles for Norway in 1896 and the rest in 1897. (33,500 total)

Serial numbers started at #1. Serial number ranges were 1 - 20,000 and 30,001 - 39,000.

Norwegian/Civilian Steyr-Krags were made in 1897. (#3,001 to 7,500)

Some of the 'South African - Boer' Krags fall in the serial number range 100 to 900. (I would expect them to lack Norwegian inspection marks). How they were purchased and got to South Africa has an element of mystery. There are rumors of 'rejected' rifles and parts and use by foreign volunteers.
