an original krag finally?

I think thaT is a pretty damn good Krag. Many Krags were arsenal refurbished, for instance whe they came back from Cuba or the Philippines. Also there were in-field modifications, for instance the "engineers" modification of the carbine with sling rings. The 1907 sling is the one to have for military shooting events, and is worth money by itself.

That one has the 1901 sight, which is the best one for target shooting. It is in great shape overall and probably did not see any service in tropical climates. I wonder how it ended up in France.

Those rifles can be very accurate and with a little practice you should be able to astound the flaneurs at your rifle range by shooting the heart out of any target that is put up.
