I found a Model 1898 Krag in my attic during a renovation. I need help identifying it.

From what I have found, I'm assuming it was a M1898 rifle modified to look like a carbine. It has an 1896 rear sight. It is 43.25 in from the butt of the stock to the tip of the barrel. It is also 23.25 in from the tip of the barrel to the receiver. It is missing the top hand guard and that is about all I could figure out about it. If anyone has any more information, I'd greatly appreciate it.
