the frame is old and real, but that doesnt mean the contents ar. as you can see it was originaly framed with a paper backing which is gone, could be wear and tear or could have been removed and something entirely different put it. I would think the piece needs to be examined to determine if it's period or repro.

ADDENDUM, you can also see old nails(which can be taken out and reused and you can see new shiny nails. another sign that it may have been opened up already.
