Yes. The wood was swapped from a different gun. A DHE. And it was from a 2 or 3 frame gun as it is wider than it should be on your 1-1/2 frame gun. And you can see that the wood to metal fit is lacking in many areas. The original forend likely was damaged and that is the beat that could be found at the time to replace it with.
