I would rather fit and grind a Silvers pad to a butt any day over a skeleton butt plate. No precise inletting needed for a Silvers.

$4 extra seems a bit high, all things considered. Just saying.

Edited to add: Rereading this I wanted to clarify that what I meant was not a preference, according to function or aesthetics, but according to the amount of effort/work involved to do either of the jobs.

This one from 1900, another hammer gun (Quality B) that would have normally had the SSBP yet ordered with a Silvers pad. Once again, $4.

Sounds like horribly short barreled light gun, it’s even missing nicely patterned Damascus barrels :shock:

Must be a tough gun to shoot well Randy, I feel bad for you:cool:

Parker 1923 AAHE, SN 203418 ordered with two(2) butt stocks and separate forends:
one stock for skeet and trap fitted with Hawkins heart pad. The other remaining butt stock was fitted with a skeletal steel engraved butt plate. Parker Bros. always endeavored to
please its client-customers wherever possible. This Parker was a third generation family gun.
