Springfield/Krag Rifle manufactured in 1902. The rifle has the original Model 1901 folding leaf rear sight and handguard. The receiver and loading gate have the mottled gray, water quenched, casehardened finish. The barrel, barrel bands, trigger guard and buttplate are blued, the bolt is bright. The stock and handguard are oil finished black walnut. The left side of the receiver has the two line marking: "U.S./MODEL 1898. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 400115". The left side of the stock wrist is stamped with the script "JLA/1902". An encircled script "P" firing proof is stamped on the stock wrist behind the trigger guard. The rifle is accompanied by a correct Krag bayonet marked "US" on one side of the ricasso and "1900" on the other. The bayonet measures 16" in total length.

Very fine. Approximately 75% faded original blue finish remains on the barrel showing slight muzzle wear and some minor overall spotting. The receiver also retains about 70% original dark blue finish thinning along high points with minor surface scratches and handling marks. The wood is excellent with only a few mild pressure marks and scratches as well as a small repair on the right side of the forearm between the rear barrel band and muzzle. The bayonet is very good with minor scattered spotting.
