The rifles are trapdoors aren't they? Never saw a Krag with the sling connected at the front of the triggerguard. Yet...

Trapdoors, indeed. The lucky devils! Supposedly the 9th New York Vol. never fired a shot in anger during the Spanish-American War. They did fire more than a few shots in anger during the Civil War.

Those look like Model 1888 TD rifles - note the rod bayonets.

Those rifles ARE M1884 trapdoor rifles!!

My Great Uncle, Charles York Judson, served with the 9th NY. Chhttp://pages.prodigy.net/oldchl/9thcyjudson.jpg

Could not get page to open. Subscribed page? I will have to look in my book to see if they are mentioned again. There are a lot of units mentioned and shown in the book. Too many to list/show here. Thanks....
