Greetings,
My name is Dave and I am new to this message board. I am not an avid Krag collector, but have a couple of Krags. One is a Norwegian marked 1916, but the other one I need some help on. I ran across a web site the other day and they mentioned, "Other Norwegian Military KJ". They said the Germans had two versions during their occupation of Norway from 1943-1945. They stated the second model is a shortened Krag called the Stomperud Krag. The article stated all were produced in 1944 and have serial numbers between NC 673 & NC 1095. The one I have seems to meet all the specifications except the serial number is NC639, 34 numbers below the stated range.
Here are the markings and measurements of mine.
Overall length: 44"
Barrel length: 24"
Front end of stock to end of barrel: 8"
Space between barrel bands: 3 1/2".
The barrel at breach is marked: 1944 NC 639 & proof marks.
The outside of butt plate: 118389
The inside of butt plate: 89
The stock behind butt plate: 89
The bolt lever arm is marked: 639
The bolt assembly is marked: 241
Inside the magazine is: 33202
The graduating sight 1-2200 mounting plate: Top marked S, bottom marked BD.
The rear barrel band: 342
The front barrel band: 018
The front site (top of flat bar) is marked: +3
The front end of wood stock marked: 8
I will try to post pictures.
Any information, no matter how insignificant you think it is, will deeply be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
