You, or someone, put a great pad on your gun. My first SC, 1917 gun, has a Griffin and Howe repro Silver pad. It looks like you may have the same pad, but more likely an original Silver. Beautiful. Some day, I will put a leather face on mine. The owner of your gun was an over the top professional, with higher averages than the best shooters in Washington at the time, names left out until I can confirm the spelling. I am not able to determine for whom Reid shot, could be Parker since W.F. Parker ordered his gun. I will post the shooting records for Reid in a later post. What a great gun with great provenance.
