Just purchased an 1898 Krag -appears original. Sorry pics will come when camera fixed. The sock is correct and obviously old but no cartouche. What does this mean ? Is this unusual ?
Thanks, Kab

It came with socks?
Sorry I could not help myself :rolleyes:
That's Ok, NRA, I deserved it - so much for spell check
Here's the long awaited photos. Sorry for the large photos. This site has a wide border for the 'username' area and I've resized these to 33% as it is.

Nice rifle. Very nice sling. How is it other guys get these nice slings and I don't even see them? Maybe it's because I'm in Canada? Maybe I should move?
I think that is an Enfield sling? Hard to tell much about the rifle with those pictures. From what I see it looks nice.

Thanks. This is a repro of a Mills tropical sling used during the Phillipines campaign, later adapted by the British. This might explain better:
