The Krag rifle was not replaced until about 1907-08 in the regular army and continued in National Guard use until around 1914-15.

Krags were heavily used as Training Weapons, during the U.S. mobilization for WW-1.

Some U.S. Engineer units were sent to Europe with Krags. These Engineers continued with Krags to some degree, while operating Railways in France, in support of Front Line Troops.

The Krag continued to have a role in the U.S. Navy during and after WW-1.

(In regard to value - Stock and Hand-guard cracks, sanded and refinished wood, refinished metal parts - these are things that detract and harm originality and desirability).
