Jerry, I believe the Curtis for-end release was used until 1920 as a few guns have been found with serial numbers for this year.
The bores were .650 at this time and didn't change until the late 1920's or early 1930's. Your chambers would be 2 9/16" and that didn't change until the late 1930's.
Finding a period pad might be difficult but you should be able to find a reproduction Silvers.
