Fine Antique Spanish-American War Era U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1896 Krag-Jorgensen Bolt Action Saddle Ring Carbine

Manufactured in 1898. Model 1896 saddle ring carbines were used throughout the Spanish-American War and later in the Philippine Insurrection, most famously by future President Theodore Roosevelt's 1st Volunteer Cavalry "Rough Riders". Features fixed blade front sight, 2,000 yard ladder rear sight correctly marked with a "C", an extended barrel band to protect the rear sight from bumping into the saddle boot, and a short saddle ring on the left side. The receiver is marked "MODEL 1896." ahead of "U.S./SPRINGFIELD ARMORY. 69562" on the left side (appropriate for an early "Model 1896" Carbine). Fitted with a smooth walnut straight grip carbine stock with boxed script "JSA/1897" (J. Sumnar Adams) cartouche stamped on the left of the wrist, "G.B" above a circled script "P" proof stamp behind the trigger guard, and a flat buttplate with a trapdoor compartment containing a three-piece cleaning rod and oiler.

ConditionFine, retaining 75% plus original blue and 50% plus casehardened finishes with light edge wear, minor spotting/pitting, minor freckling, thinning on the barrel, and crisp receiver markings. Stock is very fine with minor handling evidence and well defined grasping grooves and stampings. Mechanically excellent.
