Title: What type of Krag do I have? Post by KragNewbieFL on Jan 29th, 2018 at 4:14pm
I have acquired a Krag from my uncle. I have been looking to see what I have. I think it is Norwegian, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
On the top of the action it says Steyr 1897E Forward of the rear sight on the barrel is Westley Richards & Co. London. The number 221 is stamped on the barrel, action and the lever arm. Does that make this a "numbers matching" gun? Under the rear sight it is stamped FOR 256 KRAG JORGENSEN CARTRIDGE. There are also numerous stamps on the rear of the barrel that I can only assume to be inspection marks. Some of them are: NP- Nitroproved A "V" under a crown. This is why I think it is Norwegian. 6.5 mm. I know this has to do with the round size. There are 2 more that I can not identify. |
