    Trigger guard I can't identify

    Hello everyone. I recently received a box of bolt action rifle parts. Most parts were Arisakaicon, Mauser, 1903 Springfield, and M1icon.
    This trigger guard was among the parts which I can't figure out what rifle it comes from.
    I wonder if there's an expert out there who recognizes this part.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Appears to be a Mannlicher M95 Trigger Guard but exactly which one, Dutch? Too short. Austrian, again not deep enough... Maybe it was altered a bit?

    Thanks Jim - I initially discounted that it was a Mannlicher because it's too shallow, and having no experience with them didn't know what to look for.
    Upon closer inspection it does look it was cut and the follower was raised.
    Don't know why someone would do that or what they were trying to accomplish, but at least part of the mystery is solved.
