Re: 1895 SRC

<r>You are correct he's the one on the right in that photo. His name is Fred G. Yerkes. I have relatively strong circumstantial evidence he may have been involved in running guns to Cuba. I was going through a box of old photos while my father was still living and discovered an albumen of the Commod...

Re: 1895 SRC

<r>A few early National Match pieces and photos. If you look carefully at the undated photo you will see a Krag receiver. That gun is resting on my grandfather's shoulder.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/camp_perry_photo_1913.jpg"><s>[img]</s><U...

Re: 1895 SRC

<blockquote>Hello and welcome. If I'm reading your description correct,you are stating as to it not having sling swivels which would be correct, but you don't mention the carbine swivel. Does it have the sling bar/ring on the left hand side? The Krag 1896 Carbine could be marked 1895, 1896 or Model ...

Re: 1895 SRC

The muzzle does not appear to have been turned down. I need to get new batteries for my calipers so I can't give you the diameter at this time. I am waiting for my DSLR batteries to recharge so I can post some photos. Thanks for your input.

Re: 1895 SRC

I guess I wasn't clear. The stock has the saddle ring but there is no evidence of sling swivels having ever been there. I' ll shoot some pictures later today. The number is also 2 digits from a Rough Riders gun.

He was a Militia officer prior to the National Guard Act. At one time his photo was displayed on the Florida National Guard's website. <br /><br /...
