The Silvers style pads can be shaped. Many like rounded edges and tops and the elimination of the indentation in the middle. However, making all that grinding look smooth and even can be a trick. A 1" pad with an additional 1/4" spacer may be a better option. for a 1-1/4" pad.
I use a lot of the Galazan "Period Correct" pads. Which looks just like the silvers pads. I really like them because they are VERY flexible. They can be conformed to the curved butts of an original Parker very nicely. Making the need to trim the stock a non issue. I usually keep at least 3 or 4 of these pads on hand.
