Brian,

You did the Leica world a great favor with your gift.  For some of us, life 
would be very boring without it.

As for your original question, I bought a brand-X hinged cutting template 
very early on, in the 1950s, because, in addition to bulk B&W film, bulk 
Kodachrome was available from the movie industry, and, in those days, Kodak 
(unknowingly?) would process it free if sent to them in a mailer.  Several 
of us at W-PAFB in Dayton shared the bulk purchases, which we loaded into 
empty Kodak cartridges.
