I think not. That's the spring on the left cheekblock rubbing on the leather glued on the back surface of the fallboard. The leather may be worn through and need replacing (cut a piece and glue it in, after removing the non-worn remnants of the original piece of leather). The spring is there to provide a slight pressure to keep the fallboard from slamming on your hand. It also makes it difficult to remove the fallboard without loosening the left cheekblock screw.
