Cowan's Auction has some

The latest Cowan Auction on-line catalog has about 12 or 15 (lost count) Krags listed.  All are grouped together.  Lot 578 is a 1898 rifle with a Parkhurst attachment.  Lot 595 is a 1898 rifle with a Stevens-Pope .22 barrel.

Descriptions are not very informative when compared with Amoskeag.

There are parts for Krag era uniforms in several lots, numbers around 1190.

The results of the first  day of the Cowan auction have been posted.  The Krag with the Parkhurst Attachment sold for $3525.  The 1898 Krag with a Stevens-Pope .22 barrel sold for $2937.50.  The Krags that sold brought prices higher than any prices I have seen mentioned on this Forum. Specimens that we would call $300 rifles brought over $1,000.

By my observation, about 40 % of the Krags did not sell.  Cowan's site states that they will sell Lots that did not sell for 80 % of the minimum posted catalog value, plus a 17.5 % buyer's premium.  There was an 1892 in the listings that did not sell.  Someone might want to check that.

The 1898 Enlisted blouse with Wisconsin buttons sold for $558.13.  One mills belt sold for $273.75, but there was another (Lot 1148) that did not sell.  The Hollifield Dotter device sold for $960.
