Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

Gold 33 stamped on cut down stock
I just got this 1898 krag for real cheap because obviously it is not original. What I can see is this gold 33 stamped into the stock where the guards have been removed. Anyone have any idea what they are?

That's one of the rifles from the Rolling Rock Brewery in Latrobe.

To take a guess at it- prison guard rifle, border patrol, police force maybe...
Hard to tell if not impossible.

Is there any value to it being issued to police or some force ? I love the rifle just inquiring for future trades. Thanks guys.

Re: Gold 33 stamped on cut down stock
If you could prove it was used by one it would be worth a little more to a collector of that type of stuff. Is there any stamps on the wood or metal that isn't from the original maker.

Re: Gold 33 stamped on cut down stock
Try looking up DCM cut down rifles while I don't hold much hope it could be one, maybe you'll gain more knowledge about this symbol modification? Again, Ask over on the Krag Collectors forum?
