I have an old Krag Jorgensen, I would like to know what model it is and when it was made. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. The serial number appears to be 64314. 1903 is stamped on top, in front of the bolt. It has the symbol with the crown over the 1903 (I think this means it was made in Kongsberg?) There is a number stamped on the but plate but it is not very easy to read, is it important? I am not clear on the difference between the Krag Jorgensen and the Krag 30-40. I couldn'
t promise that it isn't one of those either.
I would also be interested in knowing where I could find this info, if anyone can help me, or point me in the right direction that would be great.
Hi.
You got a Krag Jørgensen m1894 6.5x55, produced in 1903 at Kongsberg in Norway. In 1903 5603 krags were produced for the army, and 50 to private. In 1940 qt the start of ww2 your krag were stationed with the Infanteryregiment 9 in Norway. They were located in Bergen, and on YouTube there is som autentic film taken in 1940 with norwegians with their krag (could be that one og the krags seen over the soldiers shoulder is your krag)
