        The Fighting SeaBees 1944. The Duke captures a rare Japenese Krag while leading the counter attack only to get shot and burned up and not get the girl in the end.

          I just finished watching Green Fire and Krags are definitely used in this. The stocks go clear to the end of the barrel so, I'm think Danish?

            As I recall there were Mausers, not Krags, in 55 Days at Peking. Have to go and watch it again, maybe.

                Today I bring you a Krag in the Movies from Frank Capra's Flight. Released in 1929 the film has a little something for everyone. Lewis guns on Bi-planes, heavy machine gun on the ground, and, of course, Krags in the movie.

                  Old thread, but a great one. As for The Wind and the Lion, by 1900 the Navy was replacing the Lee Navy with the Krag. By 1904 (if that is when the movie is taking place) only the most remote naval stations would be using the Lee Navy. Soon thereafter the 1903 Springfield was being issued (remember Sand Pebbles?).

                    Sand Pebbles was set in 1926 and Steve McQueen used a very nice looking 1903 Springfield. Imagine my disgust when I saw the movie poster! 1903 indeed!7A729BF4-20CA-463A-AD74-20497C8933F2.jpg
