I am not sure. I know it is not a Silver’s. Craig and I both like the smaller plugs on a leather pad. He does modify the pad to ensure it has a good shape for the leather to wrap around.

You might consider what size the plugs are on the pad you choose, and whether or not the gun is a big bore or a small bore. To me, pads with very large plugs look bad on a small bore.

Use the solid Winchester pad with small plugs. When it's ground to shape grind off the Winchester lettering.

The noshoc pads are also good for doing what mr. Porter mentions above. They have closer screw spacing, and are 7/8” thick. They are good for small bore guns.
