[Tin Soldier]

Hello. I am new to the Line. I am frequently on the 1911 and PAFOA Forums.
But this looks like the place to ask questions.

I just bought a Springfield Krag 1898 at an auction. It looks to be a carbine model, made in 1899. Missing the top wood handguard. The bore is excellent, the bolt is nice and tight. No cracks or repairs to the stock. Everything looks to be original. I would like to know what the value would fall under?

And, how could I get that top wooden handguard?

Pics attached.

Thanks

Andy
