That shoehorn thing is a rifle butt-plate! The serpentine thing, beats me! Very carefully clean the inside of that butt-plate and see if you can find any stamping or markings. I looked up butt-plates. You'll get the picture shortly after that.
Here's more: Winchester 1873, repeating lever action rifle.
And the upper portion seems to be broken off on yours. That's a great find! Those rifles in good original condition are fetching $25K!

Good eye ODF! I'd say your right! Thanks!
There's only 4 "dots" in an arch shape on the butt plate.
Anyone have any ideas on the squiggly item??
