Combat Masterpiece wooden filler block
My SCSW3 and 4 states a 2" wooden block was used to fill the space in the box for gold box Combat Masterpieces. Has anyone actually observed one of these blocks? Anyone have a photo?

I have never gotten around to reading all of SCSW.
I had never heard of or seen such a block.

I've never hear of or seen such a block either so I searched the internet for about 15 minutes attempting to find a picture with no luck.
This might give a new meaning to "complete package."

I have never seen nor heard of a wood block spacer but that doesn't mean they weren't used. I don't understand what purpose it would serve.

None in my 1952 Pre-15 box........Dad bought it new in 1952/53, and I've known the gun my whole life, and never saw a wooden block in the box. I've never seen a wooden block in any S & W box, for what it's worth, and I've seen quite a few in the last 50+ years.................

The grain looks pineish. That's why I suggested Doug fir. Could be cedar. Also could be redwood tho.

Yes. That revolver is a beauty.
The block of wood isn't half bad either.

Well, you certainly wouldn't want your wood to rust, would you?

Well, this thread certainly goes in the "you learn something new every day" department. I have never seen or heard of a wood filler block prior to reading this thread.
