I've always been told that the only way to be sure that a Krag is an NRA altered Krag is to have a receipt for the work done from the NRA.

There has been so much speculation in trying to determine authentic NRA Krags that I tend to agree. You would need a receipt. Otherwise, it's just speculation. The Bannermans and NRAs and some Bubbas can all look similar without written provenance.

Interesting Krag, though, that you've shared with us. Definitely has an unusual occult history. Thanks.
