    Default Photos of my Krags

    Here are two group photos (front and back) of the Krags (and Winchester 1895s) I currently have in my care along with the slings, bayonets and scabbards. If this works I will be posting group photos of other arms in the appropriate forums.

    Very nice collection.

    Nice looking collection. It almost matches the number and blend of my '95s and Krags.

    Hard to see in the picture, but is your 92 unaltered? Do you mind telling the serial number? I picked up #11338 in May. I've actually owned 3 unaltered 92's over the years. One was 11236. Shot my latest one Sunday.

    I just looked at my spread sheet and the serial number is 6008. I believe it is unaltered and the bayonet I have with it is dated 1894 and is blue not bright which makes it an early one. Will take some photos of this rifle and bayonet and post them, but it may be this weekend before I can get that done.

    Nice display! I should do something like that before I reduce the collection - which is coming soon.

    Default Photos of 1894 Bayonet

    As requested I've taken a bunch of photos of the 1892 rifle made in 1894 and bayonet also made in 1894 so here you go. This bayonet is blued which is not seen often as they were changed in April 1895 to bright. Here are the first 4 photos of the bayonet and scabbard.
