The CSMC Period pads have a spur that is far too small to work with original dhbp spur inletting.
I normally remove the spur from an old broken dhbp and glue it to a flat pad and then grind the pad to fit.
If the job is done right, the original buttplate can be swapped back onto the gun if needed without much trouble.

That has been my experience too Brian. Nice pad otherwise...

I believe this gun has the metal butt plate with the widow's peak. Is this inletting different than the plastic DHBP inletting?

No Dolls head
 

This gun is a titanic barreled grade 3 hammer gun ordered with no rib extension ser number range 106000, Brian did the barrel work and some touch up, Gary

Thier "Silvers No. 3" pad grinds and hand sands SO much better than the "period correct" pad. And they offer it in both orange and red.

The Griffin and Howe repro Silver pad has a widow's peak. I have been using them since 1986 and like them. No, the peak is not as deep as a Parker dog's head peak. You install it and fill the void with black bedding compound and a release agent or wax. The metal and hard rubber inletting is different, but it is all hand work anyhow. Brian's method is great as long as you have perfectly fitting buttplates in your junk box.

They dont have to be perfectly fitting. Just big enough to be fitted. But you do need a selection of junk.

I can't beleave that we are referring to such prize possessions as junk.

Maybe "junque"?
