Here are some more pics. The cartouche is there but it’s just too faint to read. The P below the wrist is more visible but doesn’t show up well on the picture. The number 30 can be seen just above it.  Tiny letters what Looks like TT are stamped on the underside of the bolt handle. The bore is pretty good. As noted above the butt includes the three piece rod plus a short bonus piece I believe was added by someone.
While I did not pay a carbine price the estimates noted above are certainly less.  I am surprised that BR has the value of the stock nearly double Whig’s estimate of the entire gun! 
My interest is in viable shooters, no safe queens allowed here, and I expect this one will perform well once I get the new front sight mounted. It is my first Krag, I have wanted one for some time. Thanks for any additional comments or advice.
