Appears they will run you $30 for the pair.

I believe I have an extra here. Send me the wedge dimensions and pm your mailing address. I will get it in the mail to you
 
You may want to consider cutting slots in your wedges and using a small pin to help keep them from getting lost.

The ‘capture’ pin is placed under or behind the slotted inlay, and goes through the slot in the wedge key. You can just make out the pin in the wedge slot in this photograph.

Yup. My Ithaca Hawken has these, as do three original shotguns. Good suggestion. Thanks.
 
They are very easy to make. I've lost and replaced by making several times.

It's kinda satisfying to "beat the system". You too can take on "Big Wedge". 😉
 
My supply of lost wedges found on range is actually starting to dwindle. This after always posting what i found on range wall. I cannot believe they cost so much now.
 
Actually easy to make from steel too. Cut wedge to approx. size and leave 1/4" long. Heat and clamp in good vise and hammer peen head to shape. Can leave marks which look good on rough finish guns.

That's about the same thing I do.
