SBT grade 4

Question; Would an Old English pad be period correct on a 1919 SBT? It is brown and looks good with wear consistent with the rest of the gun. Thanks.

No, a Silver pad is the only pad correct for a 1919 SC. To be honest, there are other pads "of the day", but the Silver is the most common. An Old English is about 70 or 80 years too late.

Thank You Bill.

Grade 4? Not a Parker then?

Bill Murphy · 03-22-2023, 07:02 AM

Grade 4 Parker single is an SC.

Ah. Thanks. Never knew that.

I do not have a correct period catalog with me but I believe an SC could be had with any available pad of the customers choice except a Silvers pad which if I recall was a $1 extra. an old English pad is not correct for your SC.
