Hi again, Dave. Yes, I've thought about splicing a piece on, and I can easily do that sort of thing if I can find the material. Coming up with hard rubber for a splice might be a problem. I also thought about splicing a piece of dyed wood. And I've even considered making my own replacement butt plate (including the spur) out of walnut. It obviously wouldn't be authentic, but I've got the tools and experience to do it and make a perfect fit. Yet another option would be to cover the plate with a vintage-looking leather pad. Before jumping into any of those plans, I think I'll post an inquiry and see if anyone has a plate they would allow to be molded. Thanks for the suggestion.
