Krag Collectors Association Forum

Hi everyone! I have been putting together some data for my book on krag rifles that attempts to create a general organized serial numher chart for each year of production of Danish Krag rifles. I was hoping some of you may ve able to help me with this! But first, an explanation of why I'm doing this...

Hi Bubblehead! I appreciate your offer to help! Pictures of any Krags are helpful, really. Specifically, the absolutely essential ones I would be looking for would be pictures of the left-hand and right-hand sides of the full rifles, preferably on a background that doesn't reflect too much colour, s...

Hi Bernt, Yeah, I heard the same as well when asking about it, so it seems that I am set with his 2nd book and don't have to go find the first. As per searching for images on digitaltmuseum, I have already been there and amassed a list of photos to use for the book, including images of some of the t...

Yeah the labelling of those charts is indeed odd, but thanks for clarifying that for me, and providing this information! It is very helpful.

Thanks for the reply! From my understanding, only 350 of the carbines were made for the Girard College for shooting sports by springfield, and then an additional batch of less than 1000 were made for Cadet use at the US military Academy. The total production numbers from these books include the coll...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you could help me with figuring out many of the 1899 Constabulary Carbines were produced. I'm currently writing a book on krags that covers mostly Danish and Norwegian models, but I am also including American krags. One of my main problems right now is I have 3...

Ah! Fair enough. If file size is limited on the forum you can send photos to Justin.bairdy@gmail.com!

Hi! Thanks on the offer, but I do have a separate publisher already in mind. My day job is design and marketing, and I design the books for Headstamp Publishing, a firearms centric publishing company. I've discussed the book with them already but my book is obviously a year or two off from even havi...
