PreciousJonesshouldn't it be had because it should all be one tense and past perfect desribes a past event of another past event.This business about the past perfect being before the past has nothing to do with this sentence.
This is a third conditional. The if clause is counterfactual. ...WOULD HAVE ... IF ... HAD ....
