The pad on #200,000 is probably a Del Grego logo Pachmayr pad. The gun's previous owners were long time Del Grego friends. In those days, Larry Del Grego Sr. had no idea how to access original type pads and installed his own pad if the customer did not provide one. Don is right about "tasteless", but then my favorite Parker has gold, silver, ebony, ivory, and pearl inlays, and several major parts are gold plated. On the other hand, it also has a properly finished skeleton butt.
