What is the black wood on the tip of an LC Smith Forend

Hi, I was hoping someone could tell me what the black wood on an LC Smith forend tip is? Is this ebony wood? or something else? Also, the wood on my forend looks to have been replaced with non-ebony wood and then possibly dyed or otherwise colored black to look like the dark ebony. Not sure that it is not original but think it might not be. The dark color has worn off some. The ebony tip also has a chip in the edge of the ebony tip. I am a pretty good wood worker and am interested in replacing the tip but would appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks, Ron
