its been a while and im rusty...on determining a fake from real one...it something to do with a dot after 6 in the pat date under the word winchester.
real ones are: june 6 1922.
fake ones or replacement copies from galazans are : june 6. 1922. is this correct?

  The original pads read: June 6,1922
  There is no space between the 6 and the comma or the comma and the year. The fakes or replacements that I have seen either don't have the comma or they have a space after the comma. The comma does not appear at a angle but rather is straight up and down.

  Hi Bob!
  
  Original pad: PAT.JUNE 6.1922
  Reproduction Pad: PAT.JUNE 6,1922
  
  Since 1961 was the last year they used them on shotguns, and the reproductions have been around since the early 1980s, It would be rare to find a shotgun that has the original pad that hasn't taken a set, or that hasn't started to get hard.
  
  However I'll use a reproduction pad over any other non "Winchester" pad.
  
  Regards Dave
