How’s that?

In this photo, I can agree with @Phil Coffins that the inlay is to decorate the place where the pin holding the barrel in the stock is located. There is a pin holding the thimble in place barely visible above the thimble. The pin in the inlay is located just about where the pin holding the barrel in the stock would be located. Phil's suggestion about using a piece of paper and a dirty thumb to mark the outline of the inlay. I have used it to make an inlay for my Kennedy SMR replica. You can easily make it from a sheet of brass available from a hobby shop. The inlay itself is likely to be glued in place as I see no pins in the inlay or marks in the recess where the lost inlay was located. The pin for the barrel lug needs a loose fit through the inlay.

The orientation of the inlays is driving drought and climate change in your locality.

The inlay can be easily made. A problem is holding them in, when installing the barrel pins they can easily be knocked loose.

That is why the hole that the pin or wedge goes threw is slightly larger then the pin. The wood is the only part the pin or wedge bears against so the removal or installation of the pin never touches the escutcheons. Can’t say how many times this one has been out and back in over the last forty or so years but it doesn’t touch on either side.

yes sir
been there, that was always a problem
i dont remove my barrel too often once a year maybe
where can i find material to make inlay?

Any little piece of brass you can find or buy thats the right thickness should work. Make sure when the pin passes without touching the brass as per Phil Coffins.

Place a piece of paper over the inlet and tape the ends down so it can’t move. Then with a dirty finger rub gently over the paper to make a copy of the inlet. Remove the paper and glue it to a piece of brass that is the right thickness. Cut out on the mark that your finger made and taper the edge and drill the hole slightly larger than the pin. Bend the brass to match the contour of the stock. Install with tiny pins.

Thanks Phil C....I gained some knowledge here today.

I rough the back thoroughly and assemble using 24 hour epoxy resin and good clearance on the pin; the inlay should be for decoration only.

Be aware that the other inlays are probably close to popping out also.

I have a jewlers saw for cutting brass sheet into inlays. I believe track of the wolf stocks them and brass sheet goods in different thickness. If I have to glue something to a stock I grind the back so it has a better grip for the epoxy to bond. Clean the surface with alcohol.

You have received great advice. Only thing I would also suggest is anneal the brass in lay. This way it will contour to your stock much easier.
Also make sure you mask off your stock so your glue you use doesn't get on your stock finish.
