What could have caused the damage to this rear barrel band? Bullet?

The other day I sorted out my K98 k barrel bands and found a worn e/26 barrel band that is damaged.

Could this have been caused by for example a bullet or shrapnel?

I believe that the metal was pushed in the wood also. They simply filed/grinded the inside of the band and reused it.
