Correct observation, the forend is a replacement. Coincidentally, the replacement forend dates to the same year as the shotgun. At least the replacement is a pretty reasonable match for the buttstock wood. I was fully aware, disclosure was forthright, and obvious in the photograph. It won't affect using the shotgun.
