How much length of pull is left from the trigger to the end of the buttstock wood? If you've got at least 13" of wood there, I'd have an expert install a 1" thick Silver's red/orange recoil pad. That at least will make it look more authentic than it does with that horrible Morgan's adjustable recoil thing on it. I can't begin to count the fine doubles and SBTs I've seen over the years that had their collectibility ruined by a "Morgan's". Usually, too much wood is cut off the stock to re-pad it to a usable length, but maybe you got lucky on that.

There is little harm in over-insuring this gun at $8,000 value in the event of a loss. But with that cut stock, which forever compromises its originality, you'd never find someone to actually pay you anything close to $8k for it, IMHO.
