Bulldog- Welcome to KCA. We love helping answer questions about Krags. The serial number is important but to get the most information about your Krag, we would need good pictures of the entire firearm, close ups of the sights, receiver and its markings, the stock and any unusual markings.
If you can see the condition of the bore, that will be helpful as well as any information on the history of the Krag- where it came from, previous owners, etc. We need to find out if the Krag has been altered from its original Springfield Armory production. Many Krags have been altered or abused which can severely affect value. Many altered Krags are good shooters, though, if they are not still in military configuration. If you have questions about posting pictures, let us know. Welcome! |
