I've been looking for a 30-40 Krag for sometime and finally scored one over the weekend. It was at an on-line estate auction so only a couple of pics and a description:

Serial no. 252527, .30-40 Krag cal., 30" barrel, blue finish, walnut stocks, with unit marks "56-K" on receiver; additionally studio marked "MGM".
Condition:
Very good. Retaining approx. 85% thinning blue. Stock shows light sanding, with crack eminating from upper tang. Shows some professionally accomplished lateral repairs at wrist. Action is crisp, bore is fine.
Not sure what the "studio marking "MGM" means? Does that kind of a cartouch or proof mark ring a bell with any one? Also, is this an antique?
Will post better pics when it arrives.
