As long as I've been posting on the Krag thread lately, might as well add/ask this question. Is this a Krag cover or a 1917 Enfield one. It fits both but I see the Enfield ones have snaps and are dated. This one has no date. I always assumed it was for the Krag and had it on mine for years but then I realized it has the profile on top that looks like it was made to fit over the ears on the Enfield.
Wondering too if the 42 written under the Co B, could be a regt. number or a rack/rifle number. Ray
Added 9/25, Disregard the way the cover is shown on the Enfield, found out the extended canvas goes over/on the trigger guard not over the sight ears.
