Thank you for the response. Can you tell me what (BOUGHT) signifies?

Thank you for the response. Can you tell me what (BOUGHT) signifies?

( BOUGHT ) was not explained in the SRS books that I have.

But we can speculate. Whelen mentioned that as an officer serving around 1909, he had to buy his Krag. Perhaps the guards mentioned were officers and had to buy theirs too. Or, perhaps each state's guard had to buy the weapons from the federal stock back in 09.

[bobgar]

Thanks Madsenshooter for the articulation, all those options certainly could be possible. But, I guess what is more important to me is since my Krag is in the middle those two (serial numbers) is it safe to assume that my Krag belonged in Squadron A of the NY NG?

'bobgar':

It is safer to assume it was not with Squadron 'A' NYNG. Otherwise, it would have also been recorded in the source document with the others.
