Looks like a horn trigger guard, is the under lock lever horn as well? Would be happy to own a gun like that.

the lever have a steel core that is covered with horn. a lever made from horn would never resist the pressure and break the first time you close the gun. around 1900 horn was very much preferred for trigger guards,levers etc. because its a more pleasant feeling to grap it in cold temperature.
of course, the fitting from metal to horn is top notch as you can imagine.
