The gun I am working with has a LOP which is short for me, and is too straight. A thick pad (and perhaps a spacer) will give me a better LOP and some modest improvement in drop. Is there a pad comparison chart which would guide me to a thicker pad?

Actually not ANY pad, but any pad that was in production at that time. That takes a bit of research to determine. You could accidentally put a pad on it that would be vintage, but not in production at the time the gun was ordered. That would be a mistake if you were trying to keep it vintage correct.
I've never seen a pad over 1" thick that looked correct on a vintage gun, to me. If a 1" pad isn't enough to get you to the LOP you need I would advise adding a KickKiller leather lace on recoil pad over the recoil pad. It will gain you an additional 1/2" and can be quickly removed when needed. |

I have a DHE produced in 1912 that letters as originally ordered with a Silvers pad… and it’s still on the gun.

See Randy's note above. He says many different pads would be correct for this gun. I'm just asking which is the thickest
