Description:
SPRINGFIELD 1896 KRAG RIFLE, #57XXX, MADE 1897. Much more difficlult to locate than the more numerous produced Model 1898. This example shows fine deep blue on the barrel, barrel band, bayonet lug and trigger guard. The 1896 dated receiver is darkly mottled and uncleaned. The stock is fine+ and shows a faint cartouche as well as a light Circle P cartouche. The handguard has the usual hairline age crack in front and behind the rear sight with no wood loss- minor. the rear sight only has been arsenal updated to the Model 1901 style with the lever in the front. The bore is a bit dark and worn, but shows fine rifling and a couple of spots of light pitting- all of which may brush out better. Comes with a military sling. A hard to find very early production Krag with a lot of finish.
