Title: Re: 1898 Krag Missing Serial # Question

In "The Krag Rifle Story", 2nd Edition, Chapter 19: Collectors Notes there's a paragraph that states:

"Prototype Model 1898 rifles were marked "Model 1897", and receivers of rifles chambered for experimental cannelured cartridges were marked "Model 1899".  These rifles have no serial numbers".

Maybe just adding to the mystery since we're talking rifles and your carbine is not marked Model 1897 or 1899.
