Hello all,

I have a Krag 1899 carbine.  The cartouch is clear and the stock and forearm have a number of bumps and bruises but all in all the rifle seems to be in pretty good shape.  There is also a small capital T about one centemeter behing the trigger guard and a fancy script P in a circle (approximately 30-40 point font in size) and inch further back.

Also, I have recently read about the parkhurst device that facilitated use of a stripper clip.  I understand most were destroyed but what does this look like? 

Any information that you all have about these markings and a potential value would be appreciated.

Thanks.
