Charles - I am sorry, but, it appears to me your Krag front-sight base has been 're-shaped' and 're-attached', likely to a shortened rifle barrel. The front sight blade is not shaped correctly. Also, your muzzle 'crown' does not look quite right.

This is fine for a 'Shooter', but, further impacts its desirability as a collector piece.

Attached is a photo showing how a Krag carbine front-sight and muzzle area should appear.
