First off, thanks to all for their thoughts and recommendations. I took the VHE to the NE Show today and showed it to Edgar and George. They're opinions are consistent with yours. Don't mess with the VHE, install a period appropriate recoil pad and enjoy it. Edgar was kind enough to give me one of his Hawkins pads which can be fitted to the butt stock easily enough. We'll keep the wood and maybe just tweak the finish a bit to smooth out the discoloration that's on one side of the stock.
