A U.S. model 1896 and model 1898 Krag front-sight base and barrel 'crown' will have this appearance. (see attached photo).
(Note - The pinned-in 'blade', that was intended for use with an 1896 rear-sight, will be shorter).
Very early model 1892 Krag barrels (receiver is marked 1894) may have a 'flat' square crown, if not updated.
