I didn't notice the bolt number mismatch, when first viewing your pictures.
Originally, the bolt number would have matched the receiver's. Bolt #11805 was likely made in 1891. The original bolt could have possibly gotten removed during WW2 Nazi occupation of Denmark or when rifle was shipped to U.S. Importer. IMHO - 'Head-Space' is not as tricky with a rimmed cartridge, as with, a rimless one. FWIW - The wood in your Krag's stock appears to be Elm. Scandinavian counties utilized some 'alternative' stock woods. |
