Once again thanks for everyone that took time to help me out with my search for information. I did pull the terribly fitting recoil pad and had hoped to find some clues as to whom may have done the wood. Unfortunately that was not to be. The workmanship other than the pad, is great. I believe I will try to locate an original 42 buttplate and have it fit. I love my SXS but this 42 might just grow on me. May just need to sell one of my Francotte 410's and do as Kutter mentioned get it engraved.
