Looks like scuffed up leather shavings from constant life in a holster .

A mite rusty, but it is a cowgirl thing a lowly smith wouldn't understand.

That hammer block bar thing?

Looks like she may have dropped it in the mud ………… or …………………… just never ever cleaned it.

Dirt, weed seeds, and "leather fuzz" in there. Nothing some compressed air and brake cleaner can't fix, though.

I do the entire family’s gun work and noticed she was rolling on the ground while ‘mugging’ calves at the last branding. Thus, a cleaning was scheduled.

Any more in the frame's forward recess, for the cylinder bolt, it might keep the cylinder from unlocking/rotating.........or worse.......breaking the triggers forward extension.
Or not..........it's been a long time since I've had a sideplate off.😇
edit: Decades ago......we had a county deputy show up at the Archer City gun range. He decided to use his service revolver to shoot a few short range silhouettes. Seems the cylinder wouldn't rotate.......due to all of the lint/trash that was packed into each chamber.🤯
Good times........😉

I got P-Series Ruger packed with mud trying to catch a hog the dogs were holding in swamp. I washed it out with a garden hose,put it back in the nylon holster and stuck it in the truck tool box with the intent to clean it when I got home. I thought about it about a month later.When I got it from the tool box,expecting the worst,the old Ruger was fine and I ran a magazine through it and it did fine. I cleaned it good and still have it for a truck gun to this day.

In the early 80s, we parkerized a bunch of 870s for the CHP and local sheriff's dept. They were still carrying them in lectro-loks near the dash with the barrels pointed up. We found lots of cigarette butts inside barrels!
