While the triggerguard is unusual (and obviously not well repaired), I don't think it's wrong at all.  The rear hooked triggerguard shape is often seen on German and other pistols, occasionally fowling guns.  It is very often seen on Swedish rifles.

It's an accuracy reducer.  Sometimes gunsmiths who are also great shooters, install a device that gives them a handicap, so that their friends will play with them.
At least that's what I tell my friends.
