Khaki Posted 17 November , 2018 Author Share Posted 17 November , 2018 Agree totally, this one was made as far as I can tell about 1900 , Peking Legation would be nice. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 17 November , 2018 Share Posted 17 November , 2018 (edited) The first US detachment to arrive in the UK in 1917 (some engineers) were armed with Krags. There are numerous pics available. I have one marked to the 8th IL Inf. (links in this thread to the 1917 pics) Chris Edited 17 November , 2018 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 17 November , 2018 Author Share Posted 17 November , 2018 Thanks Chris, I checked out your post, before posting mine, that is a very nice rifle you have especially with the unit markings. Mine apart from the normal inspector markings has no unit identifications but is about the same condition overall. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Brayley Posted 23 November , 2018 Share Posted 23 November , 2018 Lovely! I would love a krag, but have never seen one for sale over here, that hasn't been chopped around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 23 November , 2018 Author Share Posted 23 November , 2018 Yes, sadly that was the end of vast numbers of US military Krags due to their short active service life. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
