It makes me wonder what kind of tinkerer did that. Was it simply a material he was familiar with used out of convenience(easily shaped) or was he really trying to effect the balance and weighting. How' good did he do? :)
Forgive me if there are clues that all these are original, but for your consideration: could these be rescaled- incorporating the originals as free material? already shaped and drilled would come in handy for a guy trying to make ends meet i think.
I know I'll look more closely in the future. So many I have found were in such terrible shape I didnt look close at all details, but all i have ever noticed are wedge spacers on assumed to be original scales
Anyway I think the JR&S is rather nifty and unless the photo fools me] not exactly parallel sided
