Krag Price check

[Navy joe]

Not having a decent reference handy, what's the going price on an M1898? I saw one for sale for 800+ in decent condition, neat gun, I would love to own one if cheap enough. That's not cheap enough IMO.

Arrghh! nobody has one of these??

I'll have to check, may take a bit. But what is condition like 60%?, 80%? blue turned patina? is it all matching for era ('98) in parts and sights-many different permutations-so price could be a steal or a rip-off.

I'd give it 70%, all parts appear matched, stock is stamped with some sort of proof marked 1899.

I have a rare, 30" barreled version, the last such barrel length produced for the U.S. Army. I believe I paid $500 for this back in 1990 or so.
