The Mershon White Line recoil pad came out in 1934-35. Too bad the Parker records for this period are so lacking for gun order/production , but as Bill says, some Parkers with White Line Mershon/Pachmayr pads appear to be original. Those Parkers would have to be post 1934-35. If a person wanted to replace a crushed or hardened pad on a post 34-35 gun, a White Line Mershon or Pachmayr would be period correct. Some people find them attractive, others don't.
However, I think I will put off, for at least now, chopping off the skeleton butt plate on my 1939 C and installing a Mershon pad.
