Factory recoil pad with "spur"
 

I have a high grade Parker gun (circa 1906) which "letters" with a Silver's recoil pad. The pad that is currently on the gun is a much newer replacement (probably late 60s/early 70s). There is a spot inletted at the top of the heel of the stock for a "spur" or widow's peak.

My question is this, did the Parker factory fit recoil pads to some of their guns which had the "spur"? I seem to remember seeing such guns/pads.

Thanks.....Tom

Tom, I'll take a look at my 1908 28 ga. DHE with the 'lettered' Silvers pad tonight and let you know.

Best, Dean

The Silver Pad does not letter on my CHE but it sure looks like it has been there for a long time and it does have the spur.

You can still get a pad with the spur if you are looking to replace the existing one, I got one from Galazans not long ago.

But the spur will be too small. You will need to use acuraglass to fill the void around the Galazan spur, which is about a third of the origional size.

ahh - nice to know- mine went on a different kind of gun and was a perfect fit.

No spur on this original Silvers pad, however, the stock was made to fit a smallish lady and LOP was 13" according to the letter (it is now 12 3/4" due to the flattened pad) so I'm sure the wood was cut down and the pad added without inletting for a spur.

1905 pad
 

This is a pad off of a 1905 C grade hammer gun. I believe this pad is original since the letter states a 14 1/4" length of pull and this is 1/16" under that dimension. The letter does not mention the kind of butt.

Wayne, How about pictures of the rest on the gun?.........Please!

Here's my 1905 DHE 12 ga. safety delete straight grip with Silvers pad and all letter.
