We would certainly like to see a picture of that pad. By the way, my friend on the Eastern Shore of Maryland taught me to use wooden dowels instead of rubber plugs to make the leather plugs for leather covered pads. They are easier to shape and cut to fit, and they put up with the abuse of fitting the leather cover much better than the rubber plugs. He made a leather faced Silver's pad with covered plugs on a John Oberlies Springfield that is a masterpiece.
