Description:
SCARCE EARLY "VARIANT" 1896 KRAG SADDLE RING CARBINE, .30-40 CALIBER, #32XXX, all correct and difficult to find now, made famous by Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba in the Spanish American War, the "Variant" carbine is simply the early version marked simply "1896" on the receiver instead of "Model 1896" on later ones, faint stock cartouche on the wrist (the saddle ring always rubs on the cartouche) with sharper circle P cartouche behind the trigger guard, overall receiver metal in an uncleaned gray/brown, barrel has thinned and aged blue mixing heavily gray/brown- also uncleaned, exc. markings, correct fine+ wood and forearm, one very minor age crack for a half inch just ahead of the sling ring bar base going forward- hardly worth mentioning, correct "C" marked carbine rear sight (usually found with a replaced with a rifle rear sight), bore will clean about exc., tight action, correct rear sight protector barrel band, a nice unmessed with and uncleaned example.
