There is little chance of finding out whether the pad is original or not. 1926 is too late for an order book entry. The PGCA letter wouldn't address the pad even if it were original. If the stock is long enough, there could be evidence of skeleton buttplate screws, but not likely. A 14 inch stock with skeleton butt will probably only clean up at about 13 3/8". If the stock is any longer than that now, all wood, it is unlikely that it had a skeleton butt.
