Hello!  Thanks in advance for any help - I've searched myself silly online, and can't seem to find any experts locally to help me.

I have a Krag, inherited from my late father, and was hoping somebody here could assist me in identifying it; here's all the info I've got:

The Serial No. is 33296
The gun says it was made in Copenhagen (gevaerfabriken kjobenhavn) in 1892.  Under this, there's a line with "m. 88."

I've been looking all over online for similar or identical pieces, and though several look "close", none of them seem to be *quite* the same kind of gun...it seems like a lot of references are made to 1892s being made in the US, which doesn't jive with the Copenhagen reference on the gun itself.

Any information *very* much appreciated!
Thanks so much, Matt.

Matt:  It would be neat if you could post photos of your Danish rifle.  If its a Krag-Jorgensen, I'm guessing the Model marking is actually "m.89" and not "88".  Photos would allow others to give you a lot more info. on what you have.

You can by ammo from Buffalo Arms but it is expensive. I think I paid $87 shipped for 20rds. There are two types of cases that have different rim base thickness. My Krag uses the .060, made from 45-70 brass. There is also a .070 which I understand is typical for the Danish Rolling Block rifle. Hope this helps.

I also reload for my Danish Krags in 8x58R.  I have used different cases like resized 45-70, 7.62x54R and 8x56R.  I am currently using the 8x56R and am happy with them.  I am currently waiting on a back order from Buffalo Arms.

Best regards,
Tom
