Rubber spacer
The tapered spacer is on a ph made in 1892. The letter makes no mention of it being added. with the spacer removed the butt plate is proud to the wood. Either the butt plate is not original or it's factory and no mention made because it's a small thing. The letter states it was sent back to the factory for a set of 26 inch Damascus barrels to make as light as possible. Just curious.
