The 16 has the remnants of a recoil pad. It was attached to the stock with those many nails, as was described in the instructions with the pad. The remnants and the nails must be very carefully removed and a new pad of vintage type can be installed in a way that doesn't require nails. What a wonderful gun. The VH is not a bad gun, just not original.

I believe the pad on the DH was one model of the Jostam pad, don't remember which one. The stock on the VH appears to have been sawed off at the comb and another piece added on, probably to decrease the drop. I can't imagine someone who would just want to hunt and fish.
