how did they make those trigger guards? are they one piece?

and could that gold wash on the receiver be original?


Original trigger guard is one piece metal. Someone added that piece to prevent finger bruising from recoil. Modern ones seem to be made of hard rubber. The blackening, stock and action finishes are not original. That is what experts call JABC. I call something like that POS not to be confused with "legendary" Pride of Spain.
