Just acquired this Model 1898 Krag. I’m always looking for unusual inspector marks. This appears to be reassembled rifle with a small ordnance crossed cannon stamp as well as an overstamped block P. These marks should be early 1940 or late 1939 (?) which suggests this rifle was still somewhere in service.
