Your suspicions about the stock not being original are likely correct. Given the length and the horn plate.
A silvers pad would be correct for nearly anything. And they can be thinned down to be less than the 1” they come in. Making it a wood checkered butt would be nice too. Or you MAY be able to put an ssbp on it.

Would a classy leather covered pad also be correct?

A leather covered pad would not really be correct looking for any American gun.

But they're very classy looking.

And so are checkered cheeks on trojans and V grades.

Your chances of getting a leather covered pad that would satisfy you is about one in fifty. I have two that are perfect, but they are rare birds. Imperfect leather covered pads cost the same as perfect ones. Use a Silver pad and grind it down to the length you prefer. Forget about the leather.

Good points Bill...
However, Abe Chaber did mine and I’m very pleased with it. Never had a problem. If Abe had a problem doing it he certainly didn’t mention it and his price was as quoted. .
