    Looking at the group pic, many do have sling swivels. As it is my understanding that the CMP only sells U.S. Government property, just what are the thoughts on the sling swivels? My guess is that a VFW or American Legion post may have done it for parade purposes, or they were used by cadets for drill / parade practice. If that is the case, what are the thoughts on that, authenticity wise?

    I've been to a gun auction that was selling a midwest collection of 75+ Krags, and I saw 2 krags with the same swivels.
    I thought they were done later on and bogus, but they seem to keep popping up here and there, and they all look close to the same.
