Silver's Pad: Orange or red?

[StubTwist]

As stated above, putting an orange Silvers pad on any Parker would be period correct. Like Destry said the red pad did not come out later and I believe the date on that was 1905. So, if you want to put on a red Silvers pad just make sure it is for a Parker serial numbered on or later than 1905.

Even though the company states that they are exactly as the original pads.

My measurements of all original period Silvers pads show a base plate measurement of .250" not the 3/16" that is currently produced.

Also, the rubber sections measure shorter than the current production, but this may be due to crushing.
