Bill, I am sure it is the one you were thinking about. I probably paid too much for it but it is only money, but I've been doing this long enough to know that guns like this one don't show up too often. I plan on proceeding carefully on the pad, it is starting to separate from the base plate. The black sponge is still flexible and the red parts are good. I am fairly certain that it is the original pad that came on the gun as the only patent date on it is 1917. Mark gave me the original owners name and a photo of him and his son with a string of pheasants from about 1930.
