I bought a beautiful Kragicon carbine a few years ago and I recently pulled it out to compare to a friend’s 1896 Krag Carbine. My cartouche is clearly stamped 1896. My stock has the original saddle ring and bar. The barrel length is correct, 22”. My serial number is 32,2XX which falls into the 1896 carbine data sheets. All metal has similar patina and appears to be matching in age and wear. Rear stock has the P mark and also the initials G.C. Next to the proof mark.

Unfortunately, I am only realizing just now that my rear sight and sight base is not marked with a “C”. This troubles me, now that I’ve done some reading about about the rear sights.

Does anyone have any explanation of why it’s not marked with a “C”?
Thanks
