I wasn't trying to be pushy. Sometimes when I try to be witty it comes across snarky. It is hard to read body language on this type of format. If you knew me you would know that I am normally respectful, but fun loving.<br /><br />I haven't watched "55 Days At Peking" lately, but I believe...

I didn't realize the rules of engagement here. So we are looking for Krags in movies where they are not expected to be seen? Kind of like a puzzle or finding a diamond in the rough.<br /><br />I was going to try and add "55 Days At Peking" (1963 with Charleton Heston) . But it has 2 strike...

Another Krag made whole again, nice job. Looking forward to more pics.

Sorry, no pictures with a Krag. Below are the only military pictures I know of. I am not sure when/where the first picture was taken. I am assuming it was during his first enlistment and was taken in Manila, Philippines (he also was sent to China for the Boxer Rebellion). He is wearing his Army Stet...
