'BarrelBaggins' - Welcome to the KCA Forum ... Nice looking Krag!

Your Krag, #200999, was originally assembled around May, 1899.

It is likely your Krag was refurbished at some point of time at Springfield Armory or at a U.S. Arsenal.

Stocks were skillfully scraped to remove minor blemishes and Linseed Oil applied. This might explain faintness of the markings.

When taken apart to restore appearance of serviceable parts, Krags were reassembled from a mixture of good parts, not likely the same parts they first wore.

As 'Whig' reported, the initials in the "Acceptance Cartouche" are J.S.A. in a fancy script; this actually stands for Joseph Sumner Adams.

The mark in front of your trigger-guard appears to be an 'eagle head' with letters under it, which I think is likely an inspection stamp from the WW1 period.

Attached is your photo, a similar mark on an Eddystone Model of 1917 rifle (Enfield), and a similar mark over 'JG' on another Krag.
