If that 1899 carbine sold for $5,000 then it belonged to some famous general, with documentation, or someone waaaaay overspent!

Id like to know why it brought that much. I'm missing something.


Hi, it was about as perfect condition as I've seen in a Krag Carbine. It was either taken good care of or restore years ago. It had about 95-98% of original looking blue and listed as a mirror bore. I only saw pictures so I don't rule out restoration; but high edges were worn and the wood looked excellent. I agree as to the price being high. My only question was the cocking piece and you guys answered that. Was it worth it? not to me, but still a beautiful piece, regards, Mike
