How do I find `the history on my 1898 Krag? Was it used in in war? How do I find its history???? Could it have been issued during the Ludlow Massacre in Colarado? or the Matewan Massacure in West Virginia? Just some thoughts worth pondering. Does anybody have a recolection of this history?

Because it is a U.S. Rifle made at Springfield Armory you will be best served by looking into the reference books on the U.S. Rifle caliber .30-40 Krag. There are a number available, just do an internet search. Mike ______________ DSC DRSS (again) SCI Life NRA Life Sables Life Mzuri IPHA "To be a Marine is enough." | |||

There is a Krag collector website and I believe they have recorded serial numbers of Krags that were used at San Juan Hill. | |||

Off topic, but anyway- the film "Matewan" has the best dang shoot-out scene I've ever watched. There's a Krag in there. I would assume a Krag used at Matewan would have been one that was purchased from the government into private hands. | |||
