Although not the most attractive of alternatives, he could use a removable ("slip-on") Galco-type pad. This would allow a suitable LOP increase for shooting without molesting the original factory butt treatment, which I think would significantly affect the value of the gun at resale.

On a Purdey, I would prefer a professionally installed horn buttplate of the desired thickness, checkered or grooved on the face.

I agree with Kevin, unless the buyer has entirely too much money, in which case I want to volunteer for adoption

A leather covered pad would not be out of place at all on a Purdey.

A leather covered pad of good quality would be proper if the original stock hadn't been cut too short. How short is it, Bob.

Then I would heed Kevin's advice and put a temporary slip on pad on, just for shooting. I thought your friend had a real cut off short stock.

Another way to maintain the gun's value is to have Purdey do the work to refit. But that might be a bit more costly than a slip-on pad...
