The Mystery of the Lost Krag Gunsmith

[mark1]

In the 50' and 60's there were a lot more gunsmiths than today. Quite a few had great talents but did not mark their work. Military rifles were in easy to get and a lot of them were customized. Trying to pin point the gunsmith will next to impossible. Unless you can trace the Krag to its previous owner(s).

Agreed. My hope is it will be one of the "famous" ones. If it is, I think it will be possible to build a compelling argument that it came from XYZ gunsmith.
