Francois:  Your Krag seems to be a nicely done conversion to a hunting rifle.  It would be fascinating to know the story of how it got to France.  In wooded Deer hunting States, like Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Washington, shortened Krags made excellent and inexpensive hunting rifles.  Converted Krags  (skillfully to poorly done in the 1920s & 1930s) are relatively common and small companies once prospered offering sights and accessories.  Your Krag falls into the skillfully done category.
