This gun did not letter with a Silvers Pad.

[Craig Larter]

I thought I would post some pictures of a CHE that does not letter with a Silvers Pad. The gun has a very old Silvers and I decided to replace it but keep the old pad. Anyhow, I have posted a few pictures below which show the butt end of the stock. As you can see no screw holes are evident from a skeleton butt (which would have been standard on a CHE). I believe the Silvers pad was factory installed but for what ever reason was never documented. I have also included a picture of a DH that was made during the same time period that letters with a Silvers pad and shows the same inletting----looks like the same fitting as the CHE. So what say you could this be an undocumented item or aftermarket?
