I have recently acquired a BH 12 gauge trap gun . It was made in 1901 and has a Whippet Recoil Pad under the Whippet is a picture of a Whippet and under the picture are the following letters H.S.B.& CO. , can’t find much info on the internet .

That pad was manufactured by the DEVO Company and was their high quality "Whippet Good" recoil pad.

The ones I've seen were A.K. Anderson Red Head pads



A number of Red Head pads were tradenamed; including Ranger, Western Field, "NoJolt" (for Marshall-Wells) and "TruSport" (for E.K. Tryon).

Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co., Chicago. Same Ptd. number.

I once owned a 16 ga. EE Grade Lefever that was equipped with a Whippet pad - the only one I've ever seen. (Sorry, no pictures!).
