Here is an interesting 'time capsule' for sale on ebay.

It displays a habbit I have noted in the past:

'Back In The Day', when Shooters/Hunters put a "No-Drill" aperture sight on their Krag, they tended to save discarded parts in the box the after-market sight came in, along with the instructions. (Those original parts were just too pretty & useful to throw away)!

This Gem indicates a Pacific aperture sight was sent C.O.D. to Mr. Walter N. Steffen of American Fork, Utah, on June 4, 1931. The cost was $5.12, plus a 10 cent fee. (This was during the Depth of the Great Depression).

Mr. Steffen Paid the C.O.D. (Wow, a $5.12 sight on a $1.50 Rifle)!

Judging by the cut-off lever, the Krag was a model 1898 and the Pacific sight got installed.

The model 1902 rear sight features the leaf and binding-screw knob that was originally intended for The Rod-Bayonet 1903 Springfield.

This trivia is all interesting to me.

p.s. - The sight disc is likely a Pacific original, set aside by Mr. Steffen, to have a better view for Hunting.
