'Dadx3' - Welcome to the KCA Forum.

The number, 32232, is in one of the serial number ranges for model 1896 carbines.

Nothing real close in the SRS data, that Frank Mallory included in the Appendix of "The Krag Rifle Story", 2nd edition.

Value and Sale Price are going to depend on originality, condition, and eye appeal. Metal and wood re-finish seriously hurt what a collectable arm is worth.

Original finish on U.S. Krag metal parts was not a homogeneous 'blue'. Receiver, magazine-gate, side-plate and many small parts were case-hardened. Bolt body and sight leaf were 'in the white'. Extractor was flame blue. Barrel and many parts were 'browned', now called, rust blue. Other parts were 'blackened'.

A carbine with patina and honest wear is preferable to any refinishing.

I have seen legitimate model 1896 carbines with serious appearance issues priced at around $1,000 to $1,200, but, they are not selling.

A correct and more eye appealing model 1896 carbine will likely get priced from $1,400 to $2,000.

There is lots of fakery and inflated prices with Krags.
