If you don't mind a contrary opinion, I would not add a pad to this gun unless it already has one. What's more, the wood and chequer seems fine for the gun and its age. It's your gun. For now. But some day it will move on. And I'd hate to see a grand English gun "improved" for no good reason. If this were a Parker, I'd have the same view. No slight intended of course.
BTW, your gun is built on a Webley & Scott action... commonly used by Midland.
