an original krag finally?

[butlersrangers]

'donki1967' - You have added a very nice Krag to your collection. It should be a fine 'shooter'.

The "N.J." on the 'Butt-Plate Tang' indicates your rifle had some history with the State of New Jersey - National Guard. The " B, 2, and 42" on your stock could be a N.G. markings.

The Sea Girt, N.J., National Guard Rifle-Range was quite the "Hot Bed" of Competitive Shooting in the early 1900's and Site of the first "U.S. National Matches", in 1903.

Some Sea Girt photos from 1904 and 1906 - Maybe your Krag is in them!
