I was simply noticing that Mallory's SRS tables start with U.S. Krag, #2. What is the lowest U.S. Krag serial number a KCA member has seen, in person? I have never seen anything less than four digits. IMHO - Some 'mega valuable' Krags could be floating around in plain view, commanding no great premium, because they have not yet been identified and documented, as to provenance.

I've seen this one.  I am just guessing but odds are good some of the founding KCA members have low number Krags in their collections.

The only valuable ones to me are the eight transition numbers.  1894-95, 1895-1896, 1896-Model 1896 and Model 1896 to Model 1898.
