I have been asked to provide a step by step photo guide and I will , incorporating Phil's guide.
What I have is a 1905 CHE Bernard with high straight stock, originally a no safety gun, went back and a safety was added and a Jostam two layer red and black sponge pad put on. The sponge pad was hard and crushed, and Briley put on a Silvers for me. Parker put on leather faced pads , there were some with full leather covered pads, but many more with leather faced Silvers. So I have photos from an A-1S with leather faced pad, I have thin black leather from a bootmaker friend, Barge cement, and Phil's instructions. What I want is an authentic, dressed up look.
