Keeps you from burning your hand on a hot barrel.
The wooden piece under the barrel of a breech-loaded shotgun is called the forend or forearm. It serves to protect the shooter's hand from the heat of the barrel during firing and provides a secure grip for handling the shotgun. The forend can come in various shapes and styles, often reflecting the design and aesthetics of the shotgun.
The value of your 1897 shotgun which was made in 1914,could only be determined if you supply a more descriptive explanation of your shotgun including marking found on the shotgun,its stock,barrel length,amount of original finish remaining on the wood and metal,if there is a heat shield over the forward end of the barrel etc.These shotguns can be worth quite a bit,and it may benefit you to have it appraised by a member of the Winchester collectors assoc.

A ventilated rib on a shotgun barrel serves multiple purposes. Primarily, it helps to improve sight alignment by providing a flat surface that enhances the shooter's ability to aim accurately. Additionally, the ventilation allows for better heat dissipation during rapid fire, minimizing barrel warp from overheating. It also contributes to reducing the overall weight of the barrel, improving handling and balance.

Install the shield at a safe distance from the mantel to redirect heat away from it. Regularly inspect and maintain the shield to ensure it remains effective in protecting the mantel.
A heat shield deflects the heat given off the catalytic converter from over heating surrounding parts or panels.
