Australian Coachwood fore ends without copper recoil blocks?

[Son]

When the wood production was taken from Lithgow and given to Slazengers in Sydney, they started out making the foreends without them, probably as a production expediency. The dates are in the bible, not at home ATM so won't go guessing any more than late '42 to near mid '43.

There was a batch of foreends at the time that were not used and most of them ended up in JJ co's hands and were used in the assembly of their "Lithgows"... Hence them being pale, no copper plates, and a lot were warped.... More on this another time... Still seeking to verify some info on the topic after ten years...
