New to this Forum but not new to MilSurps.
Just purchased an 1896 Model, 1897 Manufactured (Serial # Records Search) Springfield Krag. Very nice condition. Only things missing are Front Sight Blade which I have already ordered from Numrich, Sling, and Cleaning Rod/Kit.
It is covered in Cosmoline and the metal is splotchy but looks like it will clean up nicely. I am very happy with it.
Now to clean it up, start loading for and shooting it.
One question: Any info on the Cartouche photo. It is on the botton of the stock behind the trigger?
