Well...........WOW

"and ladder rear sight with a modern applied "C" stamp."
"followed by a modern restamped boxed script "JSA/1896" cartouche with angled corners"
for starters
I suppose that would be considered full disclosure

Thank you for the information and picture. Would you post one of the forend tip upper band and front sight area please.
Another needle to look for in the haystack it seems

Very nice! How many were made?

A documented 1898 carbine in original form is a rare bird indeed!! I am green with envy! Thank you for sharing

"Maybe some of the odd 'model 1902 sight' combinations or mounting-screw mixups, that I am suspicious of or blame on Bannerman and Bubba, were actually stopgap solutions to make 'training rifles' serviceable, before and during WW1"
I agree, I have thought that for some time as well

Very nice. I really like my Norwegian Krags, they are top of the heap of Krags.
