That doesn't surprise me, I've seen that movie a dozen times and never noticed. It seems they would throw Krags, 1903s and M1917s together and no one cared.

I caught that also,awhile back.In the 1930's hollywood aquired a good number of Krags as movie props. Krags were used in the movie The good Earth and I even seen the in Gene Autry movies> its fun to look for Krags in movies of that period

In one of the episodes of 'Hogans Heroes' I swear I saw Sgt Schultz carrying one.

Schultz was noted for the Krag he carried. Each and every show that his rifle comes to view, if you check you'll see it's the Krag.

The CMP probably sold SGT Shultz's AND John Wayne's Krag about 2 years ago. I saw lots of them at the South Store with blank adapters in them and marked with RKO and MGM logos on the stocks. Too rough for me at the time, but now I wish I had bought one.

I found this on the net. It's a Krag! I don't have a clue what the left side photo is all about though.

As a prison camp guard, it would be within reason for sgt schultz to have been issued a krag...
There was a run of about 1000 norwegion krags that were accepted as substitute standard issue for the german army......
