I am a new member, and and I am thrilled to have found this group.  I have an 1898 Springfield Krag that I inherited from my dad about 15 years ago. It has a JSA 1901 cartouche, and serial number of 367xxx. I don't know where or when he got it, but it hung over his fireplace for many years.  It is in very good original condition, with bayonet and scabbard, sling and cleaning kit in the stock.  The only thing I think it is missing is the brass muzzle cap that I have seen pictures of.  At least since I've had it, I've kept it clean and oiled.  The bore looks pretty good. I haven't shot it yet, but I intend to soon.
