Farrows were made starting in the mid-to-late 1880s. May have been made into the early 1920s. Krag actions would have been readily available when Farrow was making rifles.

Roughly 1880s to 1930s IIRC. Somewhere on the net there's a couple of patent sketches of 2 Farrow models in the 1880 time period, and I believe he continued to make them well past WW1.

I had no idea that Farrows were made so late. Would be interesting to put this rifle side by side with a couple of Farrows.

Scheutzen style Krags obviously are oddballs, but maybe fifteen years ago Dennis Hrusosky told me about a Scheutzen Krag that had been built by one of the very famous SS gunsmith/barrelmakers .... I am not at home and can't check my files for the name, but should be able to find it next week. Someone like Schoyen.

I think it may have been Axel Pedersen.

Farrow was not bashful about marking his rifles. He used a "Farrow Arms Company" stamp in large capital letters. If the Krag was built up by Farrow, it should have very recognizable markings.

Back home, checked computer, found file entry made at least ten years, ago: "John Amber, Gun Digest Editor, told Dennis Hrusosky about an engraved Krag sporter built by A.O. Zischang. Where is it now?"

That is all I have ... nothing suggests it was Scheutzen style except, of course, the identity of the maker. I have emailed DH at ASSRA to see if he can add anything.
