White Line Pads
Several distinguished Parkers including Invincible 200000 were found wearing White Line Pads.
I have the gun Drew cites. It is a DH 10, 56553, one of the first 150 DH guns. It was returned to Parker several times. The second owner returned it in 1891 to have the butt recontoured and the pad fitted. A match weight 12 ga barrel was later fitted, and the 10 ga barrels re blued. The pad is still in place and the 10 ga barrel looks seldom used.
Best, Austin
