Description:
Serial #93198, .30-40 Krag, 29? barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is an 1896 dated rifle that has 75-80% of the original blue remaining on the barrel with mild brown freckling on the balance (heaviest on the nosecap) and some silvering at the muzzle. The receiver likewise has a mostly freckled gray patina with some scattered small spots of pinprick pitting on the left side at the magazine and freckling on the door as well. The bolt has a smooth, freckled gray patina with darker freckling on the handle and the extractor still has a few hints of the original bright fire blue remaining with dull gray throughout. The walnut stock and handguard have small handling marks and surface blemishes under a very old added varnish that has crackled over time. The ?JSA/1898? cartouche is still present but was scribed at some point to make it more legible. The stock compartment is empty but this is still a handsome Spanish-American War era Krag. Antique
