Amazing Krag indeed.
[Thought it was interesting but my 1899 Constabulary Rifle -August 1900- is 50,000 rifles away from the Lot 133 rifle in the photo.]

Very nice Patton Swords. I have a British 1897 infantry pattern sword with an Edward VII cypher.

Here’s another view of the cartouche. It’s an exceptionally clean rifle.

Just tried shooting it some with my school rifle reloads and it’s hitting way low plus my neck sized loads are too long and difficult to close the bolt on.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here but there appears to be a correct 1899 School Rifle [constabulary] on GB now. The SN is 355027, has the correct handguard, muzzle cut for bayonet, a ‘C’ on the sight base. Looks to be all there but is rough. You guys are the experts. Can be yours for $2600.00. ...
