Drew, I knew I had some pics of the dumbbell repair insert and I found them.
Feel free to copy these to your files and use them however you like.

I wish I could remember the details but all I know is the pics were taken with my kitchen floor in the background.

In looking more closely it is a Remington era DHE 0-frame stock I sold a few years ago.
The last picture clearly shows the Remington "lance-point" drop point rather than the Meriden style of "willow leaf" drop point.
