This pistol’s wedge was missing so rather then ordering one then have to fit it I made one from a piece of brass. The part that does the work is made to a close fit to the escutcheons, then a head was filed to a shape that suits me. Then it was fitted to the gun so it can be pressed into place and removed by hard finger pressure. The head also is tilted top to bottom to better conform to the stock.
