Quite a few of the tags have additional information on the back of the tag, the large tag can contain a lot of handwritten information. This example if from the 1930's so there is no Order Book information to match to the tag. The Stock Book usually will not mention things other than the common options such as chamber length, vent rib, single trigger, and beavertail for-end. In this example the butt treatment was a Hawkins pad. If we had the Order Book for this gun, it would have shown a recoil pad was ordered. The Stock Book never mentions butt treatment so the assumption would be that the recoil pad was added and the skeleton butt removed. I guess if the Hawkins pad was still on, you may be able to guess that the pad was original if it matches the LOP.
