nyuk nyuk nyuk  woo woo wooo

Is "100 Rifles" on the list? A 1969 movie with Burt Lancaster and Raquel Welch.

Seriously, a movie with Raquel and Krags, could life get any better?

They are if you swear upon the almighty Krag, that you hold holy, that they are. 

Another Krag film to the list.

Check out this website for what the Krag Jorgensen was being used for in the movie "100 Rifles". Scan down and it is the Model 1896 portrayed as being used. Unfortunately, I don't believe Raquel is seen in the movie actually handling a Krag.

The full length movie is on YouTube.

Culpeper, I am going to brag once again, but.....
The following link to YouTube is a moving picture of "President McKinley's Funeral Cortege at Buffalo, NY", part 1. Lead by the Buffalo Police Department and then Company I of the 14th Regiment, which my great grandfather was a part of. Not a movie, but the actual thing. They are carrying the M1898 Krag Jorgensen. Perhaps you can make a stretch of things and include this very early film on your list.

I would love to include the early Edison films but I think we can all agree the Krags are expected to be found in real life contemporary films of its time and not fictional films twenty years after the Span-Am War such as Chaplin's films or later productions.

But Hey!  You can run down the actualities and make a new list to parrallel this list.

Great idea. I'll see what I can contribute.

Forgot to ask but do you have any way cool soldier pics of your great grandpa?

...with a Krag?

Sorry, no pictures with a Krag. Below are the only military pictures I know of. I am not sure when/where the first picture was taken. I am assuming it was during his first enlistment and was taken in Manila, Philippines (he also was sent to China for the Boxer Rebellion). He is wearing his Army Stetson hat and some new clothes he bought for a striking picture for back home. He had left for the Army without telling family until he wrote a letter that started out "I suppose you know by now that I am in the Army".  He was a private and was a bugler. One of my uncles has the bugle, which I would at least like to get a picture of.
He was later a recruiter for the Great War and enlisted himself as a captain of a cavalry company. I believe the second picture would have been from that time period. His company was switched to a bombardment unit. He was honorably discharged at his request because as captain he could not perform the mathematics required for canon trajectory.

Neat pictures, thanks for sharing!

I've seen most of these movies, some several times.  Now I'm going to have to watch them again to play 'spot the Krag'.  My wife is ecstatic ..... well anyway, she's going on about something ;D

I forgot!  :o

The Fighting Seabees (1944) John Wayne fires a captured Jap Krag. :D

Knute
Great story and pics!
Vic

Off topic, but to finish my great grandpa's story, here is a copy of a letter requesting his campaign badges after becoming a captain for the Great War. He apparently wanted them for his uniform when in full dress.

That is so cool.  Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful Service medals and story.

Glad you like the story. Meanwhile, back on the farm:
Can we include "Rough Riders " TV mini-series from 1997 with Tom Berenger and Sam Elliot? Not sure if it fits the definition of a movie, but it's darn close if it aint. It is a really great shoe!

I've been thinking on that one for a couple of years.  On one hand, it is a movie with a Krag in it.  But on the other hand, it is a war story based on real events, and not fiction, where it is expected to find a Krag if it is even close to being period correct.  It is akin to expecting the Span-Am troops shooting Krags but finding M1903s or The Fighting Seabees where you expect the japs to use jap rifles and not Krags.  Ahhhhh.  Hollywood.

Perhaps an "honorable mention" catagory?

I didn't realize the rules of engagement here. So we are looking for Krags in movies where they are not expected to be seen? Kind of like a puzzle or finding a diamond in the rough.

I was going to try and add "55 Days At Peking" (1963 with Charleton Heston) . But it has 2 strikes against it.
1. It is based on real events (The Boxer Rebellion).
2. It erroneously does not have Krags in it.

Aw the heck with it.  I'll put Rough Riders up. 

This is supposed to be fun so its going to be fun.

Really?  55 Days does not have Krags?  Bet it doesn't even have Winchester Lees in it either.

I wasn't trying to be pushy. Sometimes when I try to be witty it comes across snarky. It is hard to read body language on this type of format. If you knew me you would know that I am normally respectful, but fun loving.

I haven't watched "55 Days At Peking" lately, but I believe the US Marines were using Lee Enfields in the movie.

My Army son is on leave and got to my house today with his family. Showed him my "new" Krag today. He was quite impressed with its lightness even with it being in full military configuration. Maybe we will get a chance to watch some of these movies.

"You lose some you gain some" .....

I believe Beau Geste (1939) should come off the list. Hollywood's Legions appeared well equipped with Berthier rifles (maybe even made by Remington?).

At least the Desert marauders appear to have 'Springfield Jezails' fabricated from trapdoor rifles?

Laurel and Hardy had Berthiers, too!

---

Lee Marvin - Gone, but, not forgotten ..... except by Mr. Culpeper, who didn't miss missing Lee either.

Death Hunt (1981): "Here's lookin at you Kid" ... Ooops wrong movie.

"Once a Mari ... err ... Mountie, always a Mountie".

Hey, it's a Norwegian Krag, eh!

Ha HA!  You have to look a bit sharper, Young Jedi.  Right at the end of the movie where the three are about to make the run down the sand dune the movie cuts into a studio insert that shows one of them holding a, TA DA, Krag rifle.  The scene runs about five seconds.  So the sequence is outside shot, inside stage shot, then continuation of outside shot.  There is a change in the audio that makes the scene stand out.

My man Lee has been added.  Too bad they did not have Krags in the Dirty Dozen.  It would still have been a great movie. :D

Carefull there.  You may have infected your son with Krag fever.

Never took it as being pushy.  Besides every Krag man is a brother on this site.

(Memo to self.  Scratch the pushy guy off the Christmas list) :D

I have a Krag sporter that my Army son claimed as his some day. I had another son that also claimed it. Now they both say the other can have the sporter, but now they both want the full military Krag I acquired this year.

The Army son told his younger brother that if he does 20 years in the Army he has an argument. Otherwise bug out.

Unfortunately for them it will have to be literally over my dead body. Which shouldn't happen anytime soon.

Til then, they can watch this list of Krag movies and/or buy their own. ;D

Welcome to Animal Hospital the continuing saga of a quack that has gone to the dogs.  In this episode we hear Doctor Bob say:  Nurse Piggy...

Oops wrong film.

Good finds on the new movies and I will add a European Krag is still a Krag.

I actually enjoyed watching the movie!

Thanks for sharing Culp.

BTW: William Boyd unfortunately was blacklisted by Hollywood, for a while, because of an error made in a newspaper story.  The story accused him of gambling and liquor charges when in reality it was another actor named William Stage Boyd who was the perpetrator.  William Lawrence Boyd was able to overcome being maligned by the newspaper and went on to become cowboy hero "Hopalong Cassidy".

Alrighty.  Today's Krag film is straight from the sunday funnies for all you geezers who can remember that far back in Kragdom.  Happy viewing.

Today's find is from The Great Dictator (1940) with Charlie Chaplin.

You had to dig for that one. You made me look to see what the movie was about and it had this scene. Never saw Chaplin so serious. He was making a statement as an actor and pretty much nailed it, unlike actors of today.

Wow, so how did you find that one? Never heard of the movie before. But the scene makes sense.

It was easy.  I just did a search for Krags in the movies and looked to see who had found other Krags and went and looked for myself.  Then I posted a pic for proof.  I would never have found this one by myself.  Did the same thing with Sherlock Holmes.  I even went through all of the Holmes films to see if there were more.
