*SPRINGFIELD KRAG MODEL 1892-94. SN 13152. Cal. 30-40. Standard 30″ bbl. Second model Krag rifle with ram rod. This 92 Krag appears to be in 100% orig condition including a solid buttplate, flat muzzle, bolt assembly, sling, and the 1894 dated bayonet. The only update may be the scabbard. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Receiver of gun is turning patina and beginning to silver as is the mag door assembly. The extractor blue is also mellowing as is the safety. The bbl is turning plum along with both the front and middle bands. The wood is in good condition overall with no cracks or splits and a minimum of abuse considering its use. The cartouche is visible but due to the grain of the wood not legible. I have no doubt that this is the orig inspector’s stamp. Mechanics are crisp, bore is dark but still exhibits rifling which in itself is rare in a Krag this early. Overall this is a very rare Krag that deserves to be in a very fine collection. 4-33978 BK20 (3,000-5,000)
