Whoooaaaaa those are some big pictures... LOL
It appears that you have an 1898 that has had the stock cut down to sporterize it somewhat. With the barrel still 30 inches, you could graft a new fore-stock on and return it to full military condition with out having to sell the farm. Do you have the original front barrel band? If not, they are available.

The stock being shortened does hurt the value... and places it unfortunately into the sporterized category. Value would be that of a sporter. Replacing the band and forearm would help, but still not as much as if it hadn't been modified in the first place. Still, with the barrel full length, it would make a nice project Krag for someone.
