I have very little doubt this was the pad that was removed on the DHE. I had two in the original box with the original tacks included. Bought by a Fox Collector. I originally had 3 in the box and used one on a GHE 12 gauge that Dan Rossiter installed the pad on and yes, he used all the tacks. As I recall the first part of the pad it tacked on and then the second layer is actually glued on. Makes for a very impressive looking pad.
