I bought this Model 1896 Springfield 30/40 Krag last year and was interested in how much it is worth. It has not been cut down, and has "JSA 1896" engraved in it. From what I've gathered this is for J. Sumner Adams the Springfield master armorer that inspected each rifle. It also has a cursive "P" behind the trigger guard as well as a "C" and what looks to be "73". From what I found online this is one of 52,000 M1896 rifles that were made. Thanks for your help, photos attached.
